As title says i,ve got a bike coming on saturday thats had a full engine rebuild and only done 20 miles since the rebuild. I,ve never had run an engine in before so any help would be much appriciated
when i ran my engine in, all i done was keep low revs and not ripping into the bike done this for about 200 miles then started going a little faster, checking my plug every few miles, must of done about 500 miles maybe less before driving like a clown again, but everyone has their own opinion..
i know the feeling, running in my tzr at present, only done 200 miles, i disconnected the PV, so i cant be tempted in full throttle , bas ass nutty mode.
PS. mineral 2T oil only for 500 miles... NO synth oils..

How comes you have to use mineral oil first
is mineral oil ok to use on a nickesil cylinder
itll be fine m8 even even better for a nickesil plated bore
2t mineral oil for bedding in new rings, the particals in synths are too big for tight engines basically..The window for running in is quite small, 500-800 miles.thats the limit of the honing to ring bedding becomes less. This just gives a perfect seal, giving max compression ideally.
this is the stuff i use. http://www.nielsencdg.co.uk/acatalog/Castrol_Act_Evo_2T_Part_Synthetic_Motorcycle_Oil_1_litre_.html
there not special rings there just chromolly steel alloys, i dont think u can use iron rings with plated cylinders, but all cylinders are honed to there finished spec, plated cylinders have to be diamond honed as the material is so hard
i have just taken the husky out for the first time i took it easy i only done a 45 min trip i warmed it up properly and took it gently but i opened it up a couple of times its very quick and even with the standard exhuast sounds like a crosser im still keeping the dtr though as its alot more user freindly
