Hey everyone. Just picked up a 2012 Copper Stryker with the blacked out pipes on Wednesday (May 1st) Rode away with 1 mile on the odometer. Had to make an appointment this past Monday for the 600 mile break in service. Already clocked 614 miles on it in 5 days. Hey...the weather was fine last week in New England Really like the bike.

*jealous* since getting my bike last week it's been nothing but rain and freezing temps. Yesterday we had hail and ice. Only managed 30 miles so far.

You are doing better than me I think. I have only put ono 371 kms since picking mine up 1 week ago. Enjoy the ride, it is an awesome bike!!!

Welcome, and enjoy! Just did the first oil change on mine, and was tickled to do it! Have had a lot of rain and crappy weather lately here in TN, but I'm looking forward to clearer skies...

Is the break in service free??? The break in service for me was just doing it myself (oil change, filter, and check on a few small things) Even the 3k and 6k service was all easily done without a mechanic.

I think the next one i have to take it in though.

The 600 mile break in service isn't free unless you negotiate that into the purchase of the bike. I too did my own..super easy and a complete waste of money to pay what local dealers wanted for what is essentially a glorified oil change. I'll be coming up on my 16K service in the next couple of months so I'm taking it in to my bud's shop because that's a very big service and he's only charging me $300...all the dealerships wanted $900!

They want $160...probably do it myself. Ordered 6" backrest and saddlebags last wednesday. Bracket for backrest and saddlebags are in, backrest pad is on back order four weeks!! Drilled eight 5/8" in each baffle the day after I picked it up. Sounds real nice with no backfire on decel. Paid cash for the bike, so nothing left for aftermarket pipes...someday though

Thanks for all the welcomes...this week is making up for the sun last week here in Massachusetts
