mm482 Posted November 21, 2012 Share #1 Posted November 21, 2012 My ridding buddy just made the deal. He is trading his 08 HD Ultra in on a new Venture. The dealer had to get it from another dealer and it should be ready for pick Saturday. I sure hope he is happy with it. Earl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tx2sturgis Posted November 21, 2012 Share #3 Posted November 21, 2012 I did something similar in 2007, after riding Harleys for more than a decade. ( I kept my HD tho) Tell him that once its broke in, he should not be afraid to rev the engine...no short shifting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mm482 Posted November 21, 2012 Author Share #4 Posted November 21, 2012 Good point Brian, I told him he was going to have to turn the engine up more rpm before shifting. He is a good rider and I think he will adjust to it quickly. Earl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mm482 Posted November 21, 2012 Author Share #6 Posted November 21, 2012 I may have to loan him a few of cassettes. LOL I think he plans to remove the CD changer and go with an Ipod. Earl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuddyRich Posted November 22, 2012 Share #8 Posted November 22, 2012 After he breaks it in tell him to take 2nd to 50 and 3rd to 90 and he'll be grinning from ear to ear.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venturous Randy Posted November 22, 2012 Share #9 Posted November 22, 2012 Tell him that once its broke in, he should not be afraid to rev the engine...no short shifting! My opinion, break in an engine with some wide open throttle through low to mid/upper RPM's and you will seat the rings better. RandyA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
