7- For the balance of the first 1000 miles the engine can be run in

a normal but conservative manner. You can be more liberal with

the rpm range and the motorcycle can be operated at normal

highway speeds. Avoid overheating or putting any hard strain

on the engine; no drag racing, dyno runs, excessive speed, trailer

towing or side car operation.

8- After 1000 miles, change the engine oil. Now the motorcycle can

be operated normally.

OIL RECOMMENDATIONS
S&S® Cycle recommends the use of S&S 20W-50 synthetic or petroleum
based V-Twin Motor Oil.

Break-in can be performed with either synthetic or petroleum based oil.

Regardless of what type of oil you select, be sure to only use oil specifically
designated for use in an air cooled motorcycle engine. If you prefer
not to use a multi-viscosity oil, utilize the viscosity suggested for the
temperature you will be operating your motorcycle in.
