We'll see in a few hundred miles how things go at the break-in service.

I know you just got your bike recently and have like 150 miles on it. Did you change the oil yet? I'd do it before 200 just to be safe. I did mine before 150 and it was fine. I didn't see any flakes or glitter in the original oil.
