I just hit my 600 mile mark on my m1100. The service center is booked for 2 weeks. Am I ok to keep riding? Now that I hit 600 miles, I can go to 7000 RPMS per the manual. Should I just stick with the 6000 RPMS until service?

Change and inspect the oil yourself. Save some money and go ride.

A few hundred extra miles will be fine. As far as max RPM goes, not as crucial as people think. Most important in break in is to avoid constant RPM/load, in other words, avoid the slab.

This was a temporary promotion as I understand. It was one of three options last year to include trades and a third I cant' recall. |

i'd just check the oil for chunks of metal and replace it myself.
make sure the oil you get doens't have friction reducers or have "energy conserving" on the bottle.

Some people will diasgree about the break in....
the break in period is your chance to make an impression on the engine. I say get it warmed up, and run the bike like you stole it. 600 mile is to make sure the bike is running correctly after it got put together and actually road tested. nothing more.
changing oil is very important though!

I doubt running a few hundred miles past the 600K will hurt the bike much. But FWIW, if the service centre records the mileage accurately you'll lose the opportunity to advertise the bike later as "maintained by the book, full service records".  |
