How to break in an engine.
I am getting my sccot back this weekend after getting these things done:
honed cylinders[/align] new rings[/align] new wrist pins[/align] new crank bearings[/align] polished intake and exhaust ports[/align] new valves[/align] cylinder base gaskets[/align] installed new air cleaner and crankcase breather[/align] all new engine gaskets[/align] oil change and filter[/align]
What is the proper way to break in the engine again?
Thanks

RE: How to break in an engine.
funny you would ask that, I am pondering the same thing on a new bike. My parent live about 150 miles up the road and about 60 miles is like interstate, so I am not sure if I could do that or not on a new bike, probably 65-55 on the 60 miles until the stop and go traffic and mountains.

RE: How to break in an engine.
I would just hate being on the highway and have to get on it, but can't do to the fear of hurting the engine. I guess either hug the right lane, or just do local roads. Also, what rpm level=speed for my scoot and what should i stay below for the first couple of hundred miles?

CONSTANTLY change the throttle position, AVOID WFO until @ least 500 MLS
Should run real hard after that. 6 motors 120,000 miles NO oil burned Allways ran real well
