There was a post not too long ago about proper break in procedure, and there were a few different answers. I asked my dad about it, and this was his reply

You don't want to redline it but bringing the r's half way up to redline is not a problem, no more than that for at least 1000 miles, on the flip side it is just as bad to lug the motor. Shift often, vary speed, minimum idle, don't overheat in slow traffic, Vary rpm's within range and warm up at idle for4-5 minutes minimum for first startup of the day. Cool motor will inherit leaks. Usually after first oil change you can ride it like you stole it!!!!!

 

#2 for me

Yo FN how many miles you got on her now?? and im not talking midget neither...lol

 

Pretty much like your dad says. I believe the first twenty miles or so are the most important. When I first broke in the 250R, I rode the bike for about 3 miles following a complete cool down. Then 6 miles following a complete cool down. I always varied the rpm's, gradually getting them a little bit higher every run. It's important to run it hard up the rev line every once in awhile, but only short bursts of acceleration, then allow easy riding for a bit afterwords to cool down the cylinders. I changed my oil early on at 75 miles. Every time I rode the bike, it was for a little bit longer, and a little harder. Just don't keep it at -4000 rpm's during the break in. That's silly.

 

It looks like you've put a lot of thought into the break in prosses.

Hey FN, what is proper break in procedure on a new midget? I was thinking of pickenone upfor myself.

 

Midgets need no break in. They're good to go.[8D]

 

Midgets are good straight outta the box
