Just treat myself to a copy of the above.
This is an extract from the "Break In" section.
Morgans handbook info is similar but not the same so thought I would share , espcially for new and prospective owners to make their own minds up !
BREAK-IN AND OIL
RECOMMENDATIONS
The first few rides on your new S&S® X-Wedge™ engine are the most important. As with any air-cooled engine, heat is the major enemy you can encounter. Engine cooling is based on air flow over the cooling fins. Your engine cools as air flows past the cylinder fins and the oil circulates. Sitting still for extended periods of time—at a crowded bike rally in traffic—will prevent air from flowing past the engine. Situations like this should be avoided anytime possible—but especially during the break-in period.
S&S suggests maintaining oil temperatures of 180-250 degrees.
Initial Riding Note
Oil temperature is a big concern with your new engine. Be aware that your new X-Wedge will have slightly higher oil temperatures during break-in. Do everything you can to keep oil temperatures as low as possible during break-in.
The Best Break-In Procedures for X-Wedge Engines
The initial start-up of your X-Wedge engine is the most important time of your new engine’s life. You do not want the engine to produce excess internal heat during this period. What we recommend is a series of heat cycles.
When installation is complete, start the engine and run it at idle speed for 30-45 seconds. After the engine has completely cooled, repeat this procedure five times letting the engine cool completely between each run cycle.
After these initial brief starts you can begin to run the engine in a more normal fashion. The first 50 miles are the most critical. Keep the RPMs below 2500, do not lug the engine, ride it conservatively. Remember that your engine is equipped with an internally programmed break-in rev limiter.
During the break-in period the ECU will automatically limit engine RPM in two stages during the first 20 hours of engine operations. During the first two hours of operation the rev limiter is 4250 RPM. From two hours to 20 hours of engine operation the rev limit is 5125 RPM. After 20 hours the rev limit is 5800 RPM.
1- The first 50 miles should be ridden very conservatively.
2- Keep the RPM level below 2,500.
3- Change the engine oil and filter after riding 50 miles.
4- For the next 500 miles keep the RPM level below 3,500.
5- Avoid lugging the engine or maintaining a constant RPM level for any appreciable time during the break-in period.
6- Change the engine oil and filter at 500 miles.
7- From 500-1,000 miles ride the motorcycle normally. Be conservative and do not subject the engine to any harsh treatment like drag races, burnouts or dyno runs. Retorque engine fasteners.
8- Change the engine oil and filter at 2,500 miles.
