How long dose it take

[JasonP]

Hey iv had my new bike Atomik ProX 140cc for a few days now and iv rode it for about 6-7hours but its still not at top level performance how long do they usally take to ride in?

running it in wont make the performance better

needs a tune

 

[JasonP]

Mkay nd how or were do i get that done

 

[I_THUMP]

What do u mean by top level performance? What kind of engine is it?

I got my proX late last year and found that from new the carb was not good, one of the first things I did was to get a OKO 26mm carb this improved the bike noticably I also use a 16 tooth front sprocket. hope this helps

if youve rode it for 7 hours that deffinently run in i did my for about 2 hours at the most then just gave it a flogging

I should have asked before have you changed the oil from the SH!T that atomic call oil? it is realy bad (more like dish washing liquid than oil) get a good quality mineral oil for it (local bike shop)

Engines do need to be run in to achieve their best performance. Rings and bearings need to bed/wear in

once you go through a tank of fuel its pretty much run in. once its run in you can really flog it if you want to and make it go real hard on a track and through trails.

I have had a few lifan motors and I thrash them straight out of the box. I flush the shitty oil out first with cheap mineral oil. There is no need to spend alot of $$$ on oil for chinga engines, because its cheap u can afford to change it more regularly and completly flush out old oil. I still have 2yo chinga bikes that have been thrashed from day 1 and they still run very well and dont miss a beat.
So in my opinion with chingas- once there warm there run in
