June 19, 200917 yr I've just rebuilt my 87' garelli engine and am running it in, different people have told me different things heres what i've been told so far!! 1 tank of fuel, 3 tanks of fuel, 1 Hour riding, 10 Hours riding, Well i've done about 3.5 hours so far and only got tommorow to go before the trial on sunday!! Any more running in suggetions???
June 19, 200917 yr I'd say give it 6 hours, check coolant and gb oil, four hours, replace gearbox oil and check coolant again... then just go for it
June 20, 200917 yr Coolant ? You know, ambiant air temp ... Seriously Though Heat it up , cool it off ,heat it up cool it off , Varied throttle/rpm , don't let it get too hot ... Then change the oil and go for it ... If it didn't break it won't , ride it like you like it ! And don't forget a bit of engine braking to help seat rings completly . Glenn PS , I've changed pistons and rings on motocrossers between heats ... What Break in ...! Edited June 20, 200917 yr by axulsuv
