[QUOTE="jzweedyk, post: 1352400, member: 28195"] While you may scoff at the idea that the manufacturers detune the engine through the computer for a break in period, it is true. Most manufacturers will not admit it, but remember they have to pay warranty claims, and once an engine breaks in, it can handle the stress of high horsepower better. I have found out that Polaris does that with the new RZRs as well. I experienced it, and even the dealer experienced it. They took two brand new Turbo S machines down to Baja to race with some other machines. The first two days they had trouble keeping up with the pack. The third day they were leading. My new machine was kind of a dog the first couple of days, and then around the third one I punched it and wow, what a difference. On a side note, my friend who knows an engineer on the Raptor team, confirmed that the computer will not allow full fuel delivery during break in. [/QUOTE]
