I let my sled idle in my garage, let it get real hot then shut it Down. The final part of my break in happens down the trail after I warm it up.

Ride it like you normally would
After the first 3ish miles, put a bit of oil in the tank for the first ride. Ride it hard, get your rpms nice and high all day, it won't hurt it as long as you vary the throttle position, like don't go
And Hold It wide open For 5 miles straight....

All my life I do the two cold starts. That's it. (Ride it) and let it cool off completely two times. After that she's good to go. I just won't hold it to the bar more than 10 seconds for the first 100 miles. Lots of oil in the first tank.

My sleds aren't stock long enough for the break in period to end. That being said I don't bitch when I break it. JS
I ride the sh1t out of it till the cardboard from the packing crate falls off. Then I slow down a bit.

Is adding oil to an efi sled like an Etec which uses such little oil to begin with a good idea? I would be concerned with fouling injectors.

ya BAD idea.

the etecs computer takes care of all the oiling and fueling needs during break in which is why i say ride it hard. it will consume more oil and fuel for the first bit.

the etec does NOT like mixed fuel.

also the etec is direct injection not EFI. so sleds like the rmk and m series can run mixed fuel.
