Break In Process

[qcklys]

Hey , i just rebuild my top end on my banshee , i'd like to know the good break in process to do before i go riding :biggrin: thank you!

Do 3 heat cycles. Let the motor warm up, idling, until the cylinder is hot to touch. Let cool completely, 3 times. Re-torque the head. Run the bike easily for the first tank of gas, no wide open extended periods. :thumbsup:

start it up, fluctuate the throttle, dont let it idle or rev out, do this for 5-10 minutes untill at operating temperature then shut it off and let it cool. Do this about 3 times then re-torque all the bolts

LOL... I heat cycled mine 3 times, just to make sure there weren't any leaks and everything was torqued correctly. Then I did what you see me doing in my sig. I believe in breaking in every one of my motors in as hard as I possibly can. I have never had one fail out of about 15 engines. Besides one that was on NOS and that doesn't count... lol.

couple 5 min heat cycles.. short ride varying the throttle. then ride the fuck out of it.

yep... a couple heat cycles, re-torque. then beat it like a red headed step child....
