I threaded them back in snug. Kinda weird that they would both be that loose. Doesn't inspire confidence.

Yeah I understand that, but why would they come out so easy?

So I tried to grease the rear sway bar grease zerks today. The grease was exiting around the zerk so I attempted to pop the gun off and clean it up. When I did this, the zerk/fitting came out in the gun.. this happened on both sides and I was not being aggressive. Is this just a quality control issue or what? I threaded both back In snug..

Did you notice a change in performance after the first hundred hours?

I'd be curious what percentage of these machines make it through the first 100hrs never going past 3/4 throttle.. and if the outcome changes at all.

Yeah, basically I hit the throttle a few times to feel out the acceleration/top speed. Probably fine but I'm a bit OCD with my stuff. Can't imagine a few 30 second bursts would hurt anything...

I just purchased a new HD10. It had about 10 hours on it from being the demo model. When I asked the sales guy if It needed a break in period, he said no. I took it home and ran it for 15-20 minutes including a couple full throttle runs. Now reading the manual I see it calls for a 100 hour break in protocol. What are the odds I messed up the engine?
