Hey guys, Ive read a few articles on break in (one from here, one from S&S) and they mention not "lugging" a motor during break in. I have an XB12S, that Im trying to break in for long lasting durability....I rode her home, and had her in 5th a few times but not exceeding 100KM/h. At what RPM in 5th is an XB12 lugging? Would 2600RPM in 5th (or 90KM/hr) be lugging for that motor? Just trying to get it right.... Tanx, Jack |

form what I recall around 3500rpm is about right, you can feel it when you are there .. |

Lugging is a combination of rpm and load. Try to run the bike with less than 1/3 of the throttle. If it revs easy and you can ride it like that you are not lugging it. Even if you are a 2500 rpm in 4th gear and you apply full throttle you are lugging it. Just stay easy on the throttle and you are fine. |

If you're in any gear and doing 1500-1800 rpms and get on the gas a little bit you will feel a bit of a shake from the engine. THAT is lugging. |
