Yep, that is interesting. You are to limit the revs to 7K for the first 185 miles, then limit to 9K 'till 600 miles. Also, a "thumb drive" comes with the bike that puts it in "Slick Mode"....the "balls out" mode. That is not even mentioned by the dealer....just comes in a little bag with the handbook. Dealer's are prohibited from installing the plug (plugs in a connector under the seat). The slick mode is essentially the "full race" mode and you get 100% of the horsepower. I'm running in "Race Mode", which is fast enough for me, but I'm sure I'll end up pluggin' her in after the first service.
