Hey friends! just purchased a brand new 2018 xsr700 in the **** red colour scheme! had to say after all the bike shopping i have done over the last few months this the bike that struck me the most. Super excited to get out on it before the snow flies here in western Canada which to be honest could be any day haha. Any other canadians on here?
Got the dealer to install some stuff hopefully pick up on July 11 will likely post a photo then maybe throw in a nice wheat field for a photo worth a few likes on intsagram! Any tips on break in period? or just drive it like you will ride it? Any tips or advice are appreciated Thanks!

Welcome Lucas. What's a break in period? No need to worry too much....just avoid harsh acceleration for the first few hundred miles and vary the engine revs (ie. avoid long motorway stints, which you probably would anyway). Other than that, ride as normal and enjoy!
