Hey everyone,

I bought a brand new early release m8000 this year and took it out for a quick ride today. I was reading that on the new ctec that a 6500 rpm limit was stage 1 of the break in. I did not have that, I was able to get over 6500 rpm right off the hop. I heard somewhere the the early release didnt have the limiter but im not sure if this is true. Wondering if anyone had the 2 stage break in on the early release or did mine just skip it for some strange reason?

Thanks

My alpha didn’t have a limiter either, I could hit full rpm on the trail up during the first ride.

After talking to a few dealers it seems no one had come across this issue, was told put 100ml of oil in the tank to be safe and let er rip. Revy at the end of the month!
