So, when I bought my new Prius this year, there was nothing in the manual about driving at 80% Max speed for 500 or 1000 miles. Yet, my new 2020 HPE GT300 tells me to ride at Max speed of 80% for the first 500 miles. However, my 2003 ET4 manual and my 2006 GT200 manual had the EXACT same language.
I was always of the old "ride it like you stole it" school of scooter break-in, and I have not been holding purely to the 80% Max speed requirement (I couldn't have brought the bike home going that slow without pissing off every driver on the highway between my Vespa dealer and my home town).
I suspect Vespa has just never changed their manual...stuck with the old language. Thoughts and perspectives on this issue appreciated, especially as they related to the new HPE model.
Thanks,
Eric
