I followed the same thing RedDogg and I believe that is part of the reason I haven't been buring oil either. It makes sense and I simply do not see the logic (mechanically) in taking it easy on the engine....Originally posted by RedDogg@Jun 24 2004, 07:30 PM
fender,
i'm too lazy to go get the manual right now and find the official honda answer and i'm not sure it's in there anyway, but i am a firm believer in this...

like the top of the article says, it's a controversial topic. however, what this article says makes sense to me and this is how i broke in my 450r. by the way, i have read several threads here where people are asking why their 450r is going through/burning oil. mine has never lost a drop so far as i can tell since day one. this is only my opinion. i'm sure there are several more around here somewhere. hope this helps.![]()
