Re: Advice running in Twin Cam Street Bob?

Hi John, if in doubt as to what maximum speeds in each gear,it shows a small table in your owners manual with that info.
It gives you a max. speed for each gear as a guide for those first critical 500mls.

The main things have all been covered by previous posts,but the main thing is never to labour your engine by being in too high a gear for the revs. this puts stress on yer motor, an yae don't want that M8;)

Then follow yer sensible instinct and enjoy

Wacko

Re: Advice running in Twin Cam Street Bob?

Thanks all. Now upto 400 + miles and will change the oil at 500. The oil itself is still looking brand new at this point. Hardly discoloured at all.
Gave it a long run to the Dorking Autojumble on Sunday. Bike enjoyed the ride - sounded really on song after it had fully warmed up, different exhaust note, although I was bloody freezing!
Yes Sue I am keeping it clean - thanks for your efforts!
Still have yet to see another Street Bob on the road or at an event. Does anyone else own one? A lot of bike for the money that's for sure.
By the way BaZa, I've been a member of the riders club for a couple of years now. Sold the 1200 Sportie a couple of weeks ago on ebay.
Thanks again
John T

Quite a few of them up here, and they're rolling out of the showrooms as soon as they arrive; mostly in black denim. This has to be the best value Harley, ever......

Wonder if I could afford two Harleys.... ;)
