I think that you would want to take it easy for at least a few hundred miles or so......:31:

Like Hobbit and Glider. You have a new top end need to get the rings to seal up.
I agree with the take it easy part. Starting with the Evo's the piston rings in the alloy cylinders no longer "seat". The cylinders are barrel shaped and the heat of the engine straightens up the cylinders. You can look through the spark plug holes on my 100K plus Evo and still see the cross hatching on the cylinder walls. Usually tales about high mileage Evo and Twin Cams usually have good warm ups on a cold engine before the bike is ridden. Fossil
