let it idle till it gets warmed up once at home, let it cool. then take an easy ride around after it warms up the next time, let it cool. then retourq all your head and jug nuts and your ready to ride. thats what i do but some may do it differently.... how do you normally ride without getting the cops called?
i dont ride at home haha. or if i do itll be maybe a 25 minute ride and then ill put it away. and i usually just burn rubber if i see the cops
Pretty much how I do it....2 heat cycles, retorque and let her rip...just no long wide open runs for a while
breaking in an engine isnt nearly as intensive as everyone tends to think. all you are really doing is heating up the engine, so you can re-torque the bolts, and giving the rings a chance to settle in so they dont damage the cylinder
i didnt do no stinking breaking in. i warmed it up and beat the hell out of it till it was out of gas.
lots of people dont break them in properly but if you have a problem and someone else built it they will blame it on breaking it in and give you no kind of warranty. i do however beleive that warming it up and letting it cool and retourqing the head and jug studs is a must as i have blown a headgasket from not doing this procedure
