screw what everyone else says, im breaking mine in by the way Honda wants me to. but after about 150 miles your suspose to get down on it twice (to set the rings) then take it easy for the rest of the break in period. Honda says to take it easy for the full 600 miles, but knowing exactly how engines work, u need to get down on it no more than 2 times in order to set the rings. so thats how im breaking mine in.
