I have had new and used bikes/cars/boats. Thus far ( including rebuilds ), it seems that as long as I operate the equipment under normal operating conditions for 500 miles, change oil, play with it a “little” for another 1500 miles, change oil. after that first 2000 miles the engine rings have seated well, most of any shavings will have been removed from the crank case and the possibility of an engine failure will be greatly reduced. If everything was built and manufactured within tolerance you should have years of enjoyment with regular oil changes and maintenance. God bless and ride safe. Jon D.
