Did the second one at about 800. Few shavings, not much though.
By the 3rd change, plug came out clean.

Then again, I didn't exactly follow the "book" break in suggestions either.

same here. i changed the first oil out somewhere between 100 and 200 miles - the oil was shimmering silver with countless metal specks. after that one, the rest were clear.

most break-in directions don't say to let it hit high rpms; they say not to run it for extended periods of time there, which i follow. i occasionally hit the throttle to higher revs; i just don't leave it there. i'd bet most ppl follow those instructions without even realizing it...
