Couple of heat cycles, ride it easy for about 1/2 tank. Then you ride it like you stole it. I prefer to try and break it. Either it breaks right away or lasts. My last motor made it through some rough ass riding, overheating, sucking in water, and other fun shit. The compression only dropped about 5 psi from fresh after 2 years. Not bad I would say. Only got tore apart now to go bigger.
