Not in manual:

Better to take many short trips than two or three long trips coveing the initial 2000 miles. Why?

Because several stone-cold to hot to stone-cold cycles are better for crankcase "seasoning" (no kidding that's the word they use).

The multiple expansions and contractions of the CC is apparently a factor in the other parts seating and wearing in evenly.

Something I heard on car and motorcycle boards which makes sense to me.

At least it can't hurt!!



Strange advice indeed - that's the exact opposite of all the advice I have ever heard. Short journeys mean that the engine never reaches it's optimum operating temperature. Maybe our resident techie Fritz can comment on this one.
