Re: Breaking in a motor?
everyone has thier own opinions on break in. most manufacturers reccomends 500 miles of easy riding, change the oil, then have at it. usually i do 50 miles of easy riding to break everything in, change the oil, then ride it like you stole it. Alot of people swear that doing it that way gets better performance from the motor. i'm sure if you dug around there internet you could find some proof of that.
most of the wear on any internal parts is going to be in the first 50-100 miles, so the most important thing is to get the oil changed asap, as all those lil metal particles from the break in aren't good to have floating around inside your motor.
