New Bike first maintenance: how flexible to first service

[striple_to_cripple]

I have triumph street triple 765r.

Manual says first maintenance at 600

Bike is at 626

Triumph service in two weeks

Read mixed reviews on pushing it past

Say like if I hit 800 doing my daily commute until service.

Wanted to know yalls thoughts

800 miles no big deal to bikes reliably. Not sure about how it might impact the warranty though but I suspect no impact to that either.

I'm so sorry man- you've destroyed the engine and shortened its life. I'll give you $5000, I need a project bike and haven't had a Triumph since my Trident in the late '70's.

It will be fine.

Gotta watch those Busa guys.

When you do change the oil, switch to a full synthetic. It will keep your engine new for much longer.

If you have the ability, just drain the current oil and put some fresh stuff in there, break in on the motor introduces a lot of metal bits into the oil. I did a oil change on my bike at around 400 miles and the oil looked like it had glitter in it. I figured it was worth the cost to flush things out even though it'd be getting a full service in a few hundred miles.

NorCalBusa was right. Just got maintenance done, and the engine was blown. Basically worthless after I passed 600mile mark. Had to wheel it back home.

Fortunately, I ran into some Girl Scouts on the way and was able to trade it off for a cherry red tricycle and a couple boxes of samoa cookies (suckers. I would’ve traded for just the cookies)

But really. Thanks yall for the sanity check. Took it in at 699. They did whatever ‘software upgrade’ and now it’s revving like a monster..

Motoman Break In

I did this one time, new 2003 ST1300. Fully warmed up at the dealer and headed home. Did the break in on back roads and changed oil at 20 miles when I got home. That ST never burned a drop of oil and was a strong runner. I did keep that bike for 9 years.

Drain it cold, not hot not warm.,
