Congrats on your new ride Dalton. If you plan on installing a K&N anyway, there's no reason to wait until after break-in. Just follow the instructions in the manual regarding the 7500 rpm limit and ride it normally. I set my shift light at 7500 on the first step and 9500 on the second. A lot easier than trying to read the bar graph.

Yep, it's in the manual.
