Have you done the heat cycles? Let it run till it reaches normal temps. Then let it cool completely. Check the head nut torque. Then repeat twice.
After all that ride kinda easy (ie, no extended full-throttle) and vary the throttle (ie, don't run it at the same throttle for more than a few seconds) for a tank-full.
Then give it hell. I:I
Edit: Also it's helpful to take a compression reading before and right after break-in to give you a base-line

Ok so ya did three heat cycles and ran a tank of gas through easy right! if yes Rip that sh*t up!
video explains it good. although i did 2 heat cycles idling in the driveway. ooppsy, it runs fines though havent had problems. will be sure to vary thorttle in the driveway next time
Go ahead and check your compression so that you will have a base-line to go off of if you have any issues down the road.
does anyone know where ken got that heat monitor? havent seen them at wally world or the hardware stores
For sure! BTW luv the screen name, reminds me of riding in wet sh*t for four hours!
Off top of my head, nope! Compression test, leak test, write down jetting. Just to give ya a starting point. When your compression gets 10% lower than what u started at it's time to re-ring and possible hone.
What's a hard break in i my have done a lil-bit of tht too..A little happy i got my bike & was able to holla at ppl tht ride fm every where....big up to the blaster forum
