Running in

[Nels0n]

Hi guys.. Would like to know wats the "best" way to run in a new bike? have heard a few ways to run-in eg dyno hard run-in, hard run-in otr, "relac relac" run-in otr.. Wat r the pros n cons for each type?? Thks for any input

[craz_03]

juz try not to open big throttle den close back abruptly so as the piston ring might not be in place well enuff...

From wat u say, is better not to hard break in?

[kurarensu]

just ride normally, shift gradually. dont drag your gears high then shift..

 

run in about 500-700kms and change your eo, then run in about another few kms til u hit 1000km and change oil again and u're done..

 

main thing is to make sure ur piston ring seats well on the piston and nt causing any leakage in the piston that causes engine oil to leak out n blar blar.. i might nt be right..

 

 

main thing abt run in is the shifting(not dragging too long before shifting) and the temperature ur bike is running.. try not to overheat your bike.. best is ride it during the night.. cooler weather

[Nels0n]

hmmm.. alright.. i guess the moral of the story is.. do it slow n easy.. haha.. thks

u go where sia 400km/day..

 

dont u think it's a waste of $ go here n there just to clock e mileage.. not worth unless u got alot $ n time to throw

[Nels0n]

i guess that's the slow n common(?) way of running in ba.. Am a lil lazy though.. thinking of juz sending in for dyno run-in.. haha..

[eerrpp]

but ah if running-in, u oways ride below 6k RPM or 6k, after ur 1000km run in, valve will jam not?? when run in, ur 2t intake setting high??

[kurarensu]

valve wont jam one lahs.. valve will jam only if too much carbon is on ur valve..

 

2t too high = unburn 2t = carbon

[Nels0n]

errrr.. basically, im talking abt running in a cl2 4 stroke bike

 

so no 2 stroke/2t involved..

go to work and back. go indah/perling area for dinner/supper etc.

 

so doesnt really count as just clocking mileage.

2t setting high when running in, then after run in close smaller. then prob after 1200km, i change back normal setting. safer than sorry

i'm actually quite ok with the travelling.

 

it's the distance i always cover that gets me addicted to touring.

keen to go further and further!

[Nels0n]

alright.. thks all for the replies.. Have juz checked wif the bikeshops, probably doing dyno at hkl liao.. haha..

[Aalex82]

can post the procedure (the way they break in) here after u hav break in yr bike at HKL?

thanks..

[Nels0n]

sure.. haha.. all i know now is they will run for 28km.. as for details, standby for updates.. still waiting for bikes, so wont be so soon

Yes please post details when you get your bike, as I'm keen to know too! Cheers

[Nels0n]

juz went down hkl n talked to ah xiong.. got a overview of wats gonna happen..

 

Basically hes gonna run for a total of 28km, on gear 4, at 50%, 75% and full throttle..

 

He will open n close the throttle repeatedly, i guess maintaining the throttle for awhile at each throttle %.. Maybe 10+ times on 50%, 10+ times on 75%, and 5-6 times at full throttle towards the end.. Whole process maybe takes 1hr-2hrs, depending on bike model..

 

The advantage of doing on the dyno would be that on the machine, the throttle will be more precise and will be able to maintain.. But actually i dunno y he is able complete in 28km wat others will need maybe 1000km to complete on the road.. lol..

Sorry to ask a noob question... What does Run-In do? What does it affects? I'm new to my SP..
