You are going to LOVE the power of the 260,,, it is unreal... Mine is the 255 model and every time I ride I smile..

I would NOT go buts for the first 10 hrs. No long term idle nor consistent speeds. You want to vary your speeds for the first ten hrs as this will prevent and large amount of engine wear at one RPM. By varying your speeds it helps to allow all the metal parts wear more equally.

After ten hrs you will want to change the oil and then have a BLAST...

Go for it dude, beautiful day right now in middle GA.

Well I went out there and rode it for about 20 min Tuesday. Weather was good but the water was freezing!

I have a feeling It will be a blast. I only had the learners key in when I went out because I didn't wanta go into the freezing water. I agree with the 10 hour advice but it seems like its going to take forever to get 10 hours on it. Some of me says after 5hrs just go have fun since I have a 5 year warranty but im still thinking on it lol.

Take that learner's key and drop it in the trash.

Don't wanna get wet?....just take it easy.....vary the throttle...no long runs at a given rpm...carefull with the wot runs....head on a swivel....everyone else out there is an idiot....bassholes suck....have fun.
