Your method breaking in brand new tires?

[galil]

Hey Guys!

Returning to riding with new 06 FZ6 to replace sh!!ty running 92 Zephyr 750. Seems out-of-crate bike's tires seem so slick compared to old bikes broken-in rubber. I know just riding it wears in the center, but do you accelerate the sidewalls with any "special techniques"? I love to perform my "lazy S" swerve from left side of lane to right and repeating the pattern as I drive but I'm concerned that the cages and cops may get freaked out.

Breaking in new tires....How do you prefer

just take it easy on the tires for the first 50miles or so, gradually increasing your lean angle in the turns.

Point taken, but this is the newbie board?

Some guy at work said use a file one the sides to "rough 'em up"

Yes, must remember search function.

Just do a good burn out in the stealership parking lot!!! Just kidding by the way!! I just take it easy, do some easy warm up style s turns and just be careful accelerating out of the corners and you'll be fine.
