I'll give you my wheels (minus the hubs) and you put yours on his and I get his...Get in line CDA
Buy a new KTM 530
They have black wheels too.
We need a filter that if you have KTM, Pumpkin or Orange in your User Name, you are banned form commenting in here...Hey!! This thread is about Yamaha
The new Husqvarnas have black rims also. 
1. Don't do anything.
2. Load the bike in the trailer.
3. Bring out to Dez.
4. Unload and put on stand.
5. Let CDA give it a look over and wipe down.
6. Let CDA Break in scooter for you.
If you do not like the above, then ride it! Just don't bounce it off the rev limiter too many times until you get a tank of gas through it. I have to ask, if the dealer never started it, they did prep it for you, yes? Make sure you go over every bolt on that thing before you ride and after the first tank of gas.
Side note - Never let Rack ride it for break in, the motor will never break in for he does not know how to get pass 2nd gear...
Good morning laugh.

That's how I do it.
Basically run it hard.
There are two methods to go by and both seem to be popular.
You can ride it like your going to ride it when you ride it hard. In other words don't worry about it and just get the machine used to what it's going to be ridden like.
Or another method is the traditional ride with varying RPM, going through the gears with compression and decompression of the engine. After 500 miles of fairly easy riding on the motor to allow the rings to set, then romp it like you were racing and continue to do so.
I don't have any real experience with the first method but used the second method and have got a lot of life out of my motor.
Same method different wording.....
1) Break it in hard...it'll run hard but not last too long
2) Break it in slow and easy... it'll run slow and easy but will last forever..........

I doubt that I could even get it started, there is not an electric start on that white pos
Most important and I am really surprised no one has asked this......is it water proof????????? Ask yourself,
...if I let RACK ride it what's it going to be like when I get it back IF I get it back....
...
There is no such thing as waterproof!
I know, tell that to RACK
