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..
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?
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..
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.
