When I returned from the dealer on pickup-day, I found a letter from AK in the mail.
The premium member decals had arrived the same day as the Z - very fitting.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Last week I got a small VentureShield clearbra sample installed on my hood, to see how it looks on black.
I´m quite happy with the result and now am waiting for quotes to get as much covered as I can/want to afford.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On break-in, I decided to do it the recommended way (1st 2000 km <4000 rpm, no WOT).
This doesn´t mean I baby my baby, she get´s driven quite sportily, lots of torque and rpm changes (as recommended), just with the above exceptions.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I plan to give my engine some loving care right after the break-in period, i.e. do an early oil change.
Therefore I´m getting some Motul 300V Power Racing 5W-30 Oil and am trying to import an oil filter magnet and a mag drain plug from the U.S.
I´m thinking about removing and cleaning the oil pan as well on the 1st oil change to get rid off as much metal stuff as possible...
I´ll furthermore get a pair of K&N engine air filters to give it a little better breathing.
Stuff like Stillen or Injen intakes are mostly prohibited for street use here in Germany...
