The owners manual should explain the routine for a new bike.

Don't worry about asking the dealer about breaking it in, ask him if the have courtesy bikes while it is in for repairs. Wink

Any dealer worth their salt will advise you of anything like running in of engines, service plans etc.

Some people on here will tell you to ride it like a granny for 600 miles, and then do a service.

Others will tell you to ride it like you stole it for 200 miles then do a service.

When I had my Keeway, I did what the people at the dealership told me. Had no problems until it mated with a taxi, so I'd do that if I were you Smile

If you're going to disparage something, get it right. Tut Tut

Should I ever have a brand new bike again, I will indeed thrash it like a red headed stepchild and then rapidly dump the oil.

If for no other reason than if it shits itself, then it was going to shit itself anyway, and I'd rather that it did it on day one so that I can just reject it out of hand.

Largely a moot issue: it's a commuter 125, you'll be wringing its neck all the time anyway.

Change oil often, I mean every 1000 miles max and change/clean the filter if it has one at the same time, check the oil level daily topping up if needed. All these hard worked small engined 4T bikes are hard on their oil regardless of who makes them, I have seen more dead Honda CG 125 cc bikes than you could shake a stick at due to lack of oil/dirty oil and the false notion that they are bullet proof. Clean fresh oil is the cheapest and best maintenance you can buy.
