[97sheeban]

how do i properly break in my freshly rebuilt motor? any suggestions?

warm up 3 times and let cool inbetween each warm up. Then drain all fluids and refill. Then change plugs, as well as replace filters just to make sure everything is good. Then put around in 1st gear only then shut down till next day. Then ride in 1st and second and dhut down till next day. Then do that everyday till you rode through all 6 gears then change all fluids again. Now its properly broken in.

check fluids  check jetting.

 

rip through all 6 gears about 4 times..

 

recheck jetting  if its good  do it again.

I do it this was as well. But I'll go the extra mile and tear down the motor again and check all clearances to really make sure I'm okay. It won't hurt to collect some oil and send it to a lab and check its contents. They tell you if it's broken down, how much contamination there is, and if its really what you want in your motor.

But this is always a issue between people on who is right and who is wrong. There's a million answers on how to break in a motor. Some have a ritual on how to do, others come out of the shop 2 wheels in the sky.

I personally go more with the second route, I ride it and just listen for any odd noises. I'll stop make sure shits tight, then I'm off.

point the bike in north direction, swing a crucifix on a gold 18 carrot chain,  clock wise 3 times, counter clockwise 7 times (just infront of the grill),  put one leg in then one leg out, then shake it all about.

 

then do any of the above comment techniques.

 

bike is ran in.

lol! Hilarious!

 

Mix your gas a little richer than normal, ride it like you normally would but don't hold down WOT for more than a second or two, change your oil after every ride, clean your filters after every ride as well. Do this for 4 or 5 rides and your good to go, than change your gas mix to what ever you were usin before. It's not hard, just don't rape it right out of the gate!

Weird I bolt it together warm it up let it cool tourqe head and cyls then just ride the piss out of it then change oil when I get home. I wouldn't change oil ratio to richen it up if ya do rejet when ya go back to normal mixing.
