Hello Fellow Triumph lovers - I am a new member of this forum, it is my birthday today, and I have a new 2007 Black Bonneville America on order ready to pick-up. I also have a few questions for this forum. I have purchased an AIR kit and it should arrive Monday or Tuesday. I want the dealer to install it with my other accessories before I pick the bike up and they are suggesting that I postpone putting the kit on until the 600 mile service (I know my salesman wants his commission asap). I am worried about the potential bluing of my pipes during the break-in period without the AIR kit. The dealer says that the AIR kit will not prevent bluing of the exhaust pipes. My question is will installation of the AIR kit benefit or hurt the engine break-in and how will it affect the bluing of the pipes.
My next question involves the theory of sealing the piston rings by running the bike hard during break-in as suggested by mototuneusa.com. What are members thoughts on this? Should I baby the engine during break-in as usually recommended or should I wind it out to seal in the piston rings? If so, how do I go about running it hard to properly seal the rings and break-in the engine?
My last question is how do I change my "title" designation in my profile on this forum from "stranger" as I do not want to be a stranger. Thanks for any helpful suggestions. Cheers, Craig
