Both great questions, Coldlist.

On BMW bikes, they specifically come with dino oil, and you don't switch to synthetic till you have at least 6600 miles on them. This is because Dino oil is better for properly seating rings, etc. Does this breakin work with synthetic?

I too wonder what to do from mile 21-1200... Right now it will be varying rpms up to 5k and no going over 105mph.

Additional thoughts-- Will doing the break-in as described void warranty? Will the car flag this break-in in any way? Would you do anything different if it were a lease vs a purchase or would is push you to lease vs buy (I haven't decided and could go either way at the moment).
