Soot on Tailpipes New Z Break-in

[Niko]

Hi all,

New Z, 2024, with about 100 miles so far. I read somewhere to expect to burn some oil during break in, and I'm seeing what seems like a lot of soot on the tailpipes (photo is at about 70 or 80 miles). Does this seem normal in your experience, or a concern? Just wondering, and I've been (mostly) keeping to the break-in restrictions in the manual. Thanks!

Normal. Tail pipes get dirty.

Yep, just scrubbed mine when I gave it a wash over the weekend...

Awesome, good to know, thanks! I didn't break it, yet

Can confirm. I have this too, and no abnormal oil consumption.

best way to clean is with Sprayway glass cleaner then go back over it with some wadding metal polish on the inside
