I've got a 2008 fared FZ1 in the U.S. with only 248 miles on the odo. Seems like it'll take forever (and a lot of resistance) to make it to the proper break in marker.
That said, I've got a question regarding your new bike experience. Did your's start on the first or second push of the starter after sitting over night? Mine fires on the first, but will stay started on the second.
Not sure if the motor is just so new that it hasn't loosened up yet or if it's typical. To confuse matters, the bike starts on the first try after sitting at work --- regardless of whether it's sat for 4, 8 or 10 hours.
The bike sits in parking garages at both home and work, and the ambient temp is similar (approx low of 50 F).
Other that that, I'm just loving the roll on acceleration --- up to 6K RPM for the time being.
