Not if you break them in properly like you break in your new car.....They will stay with you for a very long time.....

That's what I'm afraid of.

Just changed oil and filter at 500mi. and then at 3000mi. Didn't try to take it easy on the motor or anything, used it as needed. all is good except drivers door inside handle is getting loose.

Changed my oil at 1,000 miles and tried to vary my speed. I disagree with those who say run the daylights out of it from the get go.

I stayed below 50 mph for the first 500 miles and am going to get the oil changed soon since I am at 990 miles!

Bought it on a Friday afternoon, towed the boat with it Saturday morning. Was that wrong?

Got mine on sunday. haven't gone over 65 and haven't gone over 4K RPm's. only have about 200 miles on it. Every day it seems like it takes less effort to get up and go. I'll put the hammer down when i change the oil for the first time at 1500 miles.

Put a rag over the passenger window and hit it with a hammer. Reach in and unlock the door.

:thumbsup: That was freakin' funny. Sorry no one else noticed. But that was good.
