I thought it was all drained when we took the bike apart... but there was just enough gas in it to start it... and let it idle.. I will drain it completely and put all new stuff in it before I ride it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarineNYC Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Have fun with your HJR motors.. I know I do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detroit Muscle Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 What are you guys doing for your break ins? I'm just about to finish my HJR 4mil hopefully this week when I get my intake(he forgot to put it on). I asked him about what he suggested for breaking it in but he said he doesn't worry about it lol. I was planning on just mixing half a tank or so of like 26:1 with my 927 and taking it easy for the first few hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was planning on just mixing half a tank or so of like 26:1 with my 927 and taking it easy for the first few hours. I am running 20:1 amsoil / 93+ octane for the following three 5 minute sessions at low rpm (no more than 1/4 throttle) with cool downs between each run. three 5 minute sessions at mid rpm (no more than 1/2 throttle), w/ cool downs three 5 minute sessions at high rpm (haul a$$), w/ cool downs I also check the dip stick, coolant, and plugs between each run for signs of funny business. After that it is 42:1 amsoil synthetic in 93+ octane and ride as fast as possible This is probably overkill, but it gives me peace of mind that the pistons and gaskets are seated and coolant or oil are not leaking into places they shouldn't be. bt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christada Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Ya he told me not to worry about it either Just ride as usual.. I'm going to Ocotillo Wells instead of the dunes for my first trip... I haven't rode in so long..and Im sure I will have a lot more power now.. so I need to get use to it again lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DallasGDub Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 I just emailed him today about it with the same question. My concern was not the breaking in, but the fuel to use. I normally run Belray MC1. That is as full synth mixed @ 50:1. He said it would be cool. I am like you, I will do heat cycles to play it safe. Besides, I can tune the carbs out and everything else during cool downs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RagunCajun Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 If you do a 4mil stroker set up, the idle exhaust note and exhaust note in general changes? Just curious cuz im building one as well. Come on, how can you tell if a port job is good just by LOOKING at it. Get that bike running then let us now how it is and "fiilaysh'd"......no need for that here bud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MILO Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 i just got my motor back together last night, well this morning after pulling an all nighter on it. i'm just waiting on a clutch kit to finish it out, get the quad back together, and get some gas. i'm anxious to see how much difference this HJR port job and fresh 4 mil and top end brings to the table. it should be one kick ass ride!!!
