My mt 07 should be arriving next week, what's the recommended break in procedure?
Never did it before..
Never did it before..
I did a combo of like 75 % by the book and then 25 with various short accelerations up to about 9k and so on. My mechanic told med that it runed very well at the first service. Make sure they check the cylinder play in the first service, heard of my mechanic that a lot of mechs simply do not see the need cause at most time they are perfect in a new bike. But mine for example hade 4 points differ between the 2. Now it is a different bike to ride. So make sure they run the test!!Hi Guys..just wonder how you guys run in/break in you new babe..Follow instruction manual or follow hard break in...Motorcycle Extremist - Motorcycle Engine "Break-in" the Right Way!.. The hard break-in seems to make a lot of sense...but harder to execute...Getting my BABE tomorrow..
The idea is not to make the engine labour, that is to say (as far as I understand) don't try to accelerate from low revs too much, or make it work to hard to climb hills.Guys, how bad do you think it is, the fact that I'm learning to ride on a brand new bike, regarding the breaking-in? I am practicing slow speed riding and the engine does quit quite often on me because I'm not giving it enough gas or releasing the clutch too quickly. That must put some strain on the engine, right?
Keep us posted really like to know how this break in plan works!Got mt baby 2 weeks plus and done 350+km only as I only ride for fun..did the hard breaking in..rev between 30% t0 60% of redline and us engines to slow down.....changed oil and filter at 50 miles and then at 200miles..it was tough but engine running beautifully now..change oil again at 500miles and then 1000miles all mineral oil..Follow manual last time..so want to see difference..
Good post Ralph......just run mine in to the book. 7 days & 600 miles. Let the fun begin!I've worked on all sorts of engines for over 40 years over that time I have
seen 2 studies were two identical engines were run in, one as the maker intended
and the other hard, one was on a big'ish Diesel the other a Honda Fireblade, in
both cases the one run in hard gave a little more power but looking at the working
surfaces under a microscope showed a big difference the one run in according to
makers specs being much smoother, the other showing smearing and ripping of
the bearing surfaces, so if your only interested in power and short term ownership
then go ahead with the hard one if your going to run it for years go with the makers.
