i am going to have my car soon so I really would like to know how I should break it in.

I have just read through the MotoTune website, but for me it is not 100% clear how shuld I drive on the street. (May be it is because of my not perfect english also)

So how is it really?
I take the car from the dealer, warm it up and... waht next?

Should I do this?:

Do Three 1/2 Throttle dyno runs from
40% - 60% of your engine's max rpm

Do Three 3/4 Throttle dyno runs from
40% - 80%
of your engine's max rpm

Do Three Full Throttle dyno runs from
30% - 100% of your engine's max rpm


In wich gear?

After this section is period is my engine completely boken in?
Can I drive as I want? Or should I drive carefully (low RPMs, low throttle)?

What about the oil change? Did you cahnge the oil as the MotoMan said?


I think that this complete process had been already done at the factory where the engine was built, am I right?

Hmm too many questions.. I know!
