How To: Run in a new engine. Run it HARD

[mini mullisha]

na dont think so need to put load on the motor, wht do it on a stand when ya could be riding it

 

[motodevo]

yeh i wouldn't run it in on a stand, not only do you need a load on it to bed in parts, the motor needs to be moving to stay cooler

 

[motovert24]

either ride it or dyno.. but i think i heard riding it better

Hmmmm, fairly hard.

Try not to red line it, roll the throttle on fairly hard and as the revs get up towards (not at) the top end, chop the throttle and let the motor slow you down, rinse, repeat... Should bed the rings in nicely!

dont forget a couple of good heat cycles

Ummmmm is their anything more define on actually how long to run it in ?? More so then the thread just just saying waiy for the engine to loosen up. wait for the engine to kick over easoer an for the motor to make more power. Is their anything more spacific then this eg. do this for 2 tanks. or 4 hours ??? Ones ideas of loosening an engine up im sure varies significatley from person to person. can any body allerborate on this please

there is no real reason to allerborate i mean for my breakin's i take my bike as soon as she starts (should warm it up first but hell its a new bike and im like a kid in a candy store when i get a new bike) use low rpm till she hits 4th and hold it wide open in the lower rpm sections and try to keep the rpm kinda lowish
i guess i would do that for about 3 tanks if you can be bothered... i change my oil after my 1st or 2nd tank..
just make sure you go over every nut and bolt and take it easy on the gear shifts ie. clutching it
