Blasting around Austin, TX

Hey folks, just got a Supersport S on Friday of last week and she's already broken in. Been motovlogging for a while on my YouTube channel and I'm looking forward to adding this sexy Italian beast to the line up of bikes I use. Feel free to check it out! >

Congrats! Out of curiosity, how many miles have you ridden as part of your break-in?

Welcome. Looking forward to some of your vids.

I think at this point I've got 700 on it, but I turned it in for first service at like 620-ish. Had it on order in Plano, moved to Austin, then had to swing back to Plano to pick it up. Rode around a few semi-curvy roads the DFW area as much as I could then finished up break-in by driving it down to Austin constantly changing speeds for 200 miles. Was basically through break in period right as I rode in to Austin.

Side note: I've found the easiest way to catch neutral with the engine running is to be coasting with the clutch in. I find I can consistently catch it that way as I roll up to parking spots. Gets a tiny bit easier to find with the engine running and parked after break in, but not much. Doesn't bother me much parking, but it can be tricky when you're at a light.

Congrats and hurry up with the follow up video of your first impressions of the SS!! :grin2:

Got that video in the can actually, I just need to edit it plus throw a couple voice overs in and there's like... two or three vids in front of it to edit (including from my Sprint ST 1050 that the SS replaced) that I've been putting off due to moving tasks. Dat backlog, y0. We'll see how fast I can get through it all. Also planning to do a more in-depth format video for longer term impressions like I did for , and I'm really looking forward to that. Takes a lot of work but it's fun.

Holy crap, that did some odd formatting stuff with the YouTube URL...

welcome Mr G

Welcome, look forward to your videos.....
