I think that pays off. Here is a shot of my dipstick on a well drained engine at 9001 miles. Not a very good focus, but you can see the oil line high on the dip stick.

I NEVER break in any of my vehicles.? Or I do, depending on what you call break in?

Just ride/drive it like you stole it.? Works for me.

As a matter of fact, there is quite some controversy on the subject.? I'll get the ball rolling:

BREAK IN FOR CAR / BIKE ENGINES

Like the first line of that page says, it's very a controversial topic

Just give it some stick during break in, but especially the first few 100 km's are the most important I think.
