I just bought a new Z in September of last year. This is the first new bike I have bought and was wondering what should be done at the end of the break in period. I bought it with 500 miles on it and Put only a couple of hundred extremely easy miles on it but would like to make sure it broke in like it should be. Any help would be appreciated.

do a search for the factory manual this will help, but:

change oil and filter,
check valve clearances,
check nuts and bolts for tightness(esp headers)
inspect for leaks where any fluids are used,
after that i don't know.

clean and adjust drive chain

thanks guys. ill try and see if i can't come up with a manual. I would need the manual for torque specs anyway. Usually i buy the haynes manuals from autozone the couldn't come up with one for this bike so i will probably try and find one one line if not then factory direct.

again thanks for all the help
