Hi guys,

im getting my new 2004 Beta 250 next week, i am getting it brand new so im wandering how do i break the bike in, ive been told that you ride it for 5-8hours then change the gearbox oil, is that all there is to it?

does anyone have a plan that i could print of and follow so i break my bike in properly,

thanks in advance

Chris

You might not rev it too high for the first few days. You should use a little more oil in your gas. 32:1 might be a little too much but 80:1 is probably a little too lean for breakin. Have fun with your new bike.

Always start with mineral oil I do a full gallon at 32:1.

I usually break in a new bike by throwing it down a hill within 10 mins of receipt!

bigfoot has a good knowledge of breaking in new bikes,upside down onto a good heap of yorkshires finest rocks................... i felt for him,first time out too
