A little extra oil in the tank and then by the time the coolants up to temp, I'd clamp it.

same as a new engine. Little extra in the tank. and take it easy for the first tank. I have always use Blendzal octane boost bean oil in my sleds. if you can get your hands on some of that ad a pint to your first tank and you are good to go

so what your saying is that a tank of gas is good enough for a break in, i did put oil in the tank and it was not 100% full butt i just refueled it today and so far since the engine re-build i have put on 53 km'.......so do you think it is ready to be pushed to the limits??

put some mineral oil in gas, let the motor warm up before any wap wap from throttle. ride it easy for the first 10 km, and then ride like you will every day thereafter. just watch the temp for a while, check oil pump and put a few smiles on your face.
the big thing is let it warm up, the brap brap cold is hard on the motor.

ya, like i had mentioned i know how to break it in, i did put oil in the tank, i have been let it warm up, i have been taken it easy and not keeping it pinned but i have been varying the throttle, but thanks for informing me anyway! i figure i will wait until 60 km just to be safe.
