Dglass71, no question, the dealer should have mentioned something about the break in period. If it's anything like the Yamaha break in, it is pretty boring!!! All kidding aside, You're probably alright. Many mechanics will tell ya that that the most important thing is not to stay at any one speed for any length of time. In other words, vary your speed as much as possible and don't open her up for extended periods. With 14 hours on her now, too late anyway. Biggest reason to go through the manufactures break in period is to break in the piston rings and liner. With properly seated piston rings, oil use will be kept at a minimum and maximum compression will be achieved. If you are really concerned, hit your dealer up for a free cylinder compression check (since he didn't mention the break in procedure). If this looks good, your probably in good shape.
