Thanks for the info I am sure some of the guys will find it interesting.
I hope you used mineral oil in the motor during the running in period, otherwise you could have problems with oil usage on your XT motor, these motors have chrome bores & need mineral oil to bed the rings in.
Looking at your link, I disagree with using synthetic oil in a chrome bore while running in the motor XT660 motor & I speak for 32 years experience of being a mechanic, from your link there are so many holes in the mans statements it is a joke, one being a he considers a modern motorcycle motor anything from 1985, please where have you been, engine materials have changed so much in the last 10 years & the oils have progreed so much as well, you can't say every motor in the world needs the same running procudure that is rubbish.
If there were no signs of metal in your oil I would be surprised as this is quite normal for a motor that is ruining in. The XT filters are designed to run past 10000kms/60000miles you are waisting you money replacing them every 100kms during the running in period.
Not getting up you, there is no problem changing oil at any time interval just be carefull what you read on the internet.
