so bro how the outcome for ur tri-oval & the bagster?

[yantzen]

brothers, have a question..

 

my friend is running in his k5 using the method prescribed in the manual..

It says must replace 4t after 1000km.

 

The main question: This replacement is with synthetic, semi, or minerals?

And how much must be replaced, ie, what capacity? 3L? 2.8L? or 3.5?

 

Thanks for the answers.

It will be better if u use mineral oil for running-in period.

[kinwei]

You can choose to use either one. But normally ppl use mineral oil during runing in due to it is more economical, and it tend to breakdown faster thus more rough, more suitable for running in. But it is ok for you to use semi or full. For my case, I use full syth after the 1000km mark, but the brand is Total from carefour cause it is cheap. Total = total lost!! (Joking)

 

Next the top up of engine oil. For my bike, with oil filter change, the oil top up is around 2.8l. Not sure about your friend bike. Theorically is is the same, but then you can always find the correct amount for your bike by the following method. Top up engine oil to around 2.5l first then start engine (remember to close the engine oil cap). let it idle for a while.. then switch off the engine. Wait a while for the engine oil to settle down. and then slowly top up the engine oil till it is around 1/3 mark of the high/low indicator. Always remember to straighten the bike before checking the oil level. Having a friend to assit you helps. By next day morning, it will normally rise to half wy point due to all the engine oil drip back to the oil sump.

Running in

FORGET ALL THAT nonsense about sticking to rev limits for a certain number of miles, just ride normally, allowing the engine to rev freely (but not redlining) and never let it labour. Go up and down the gearbox and up and down the revs. Dont't sit on a motorway for hours hoping to speed up the process - it doesn't work.

Engine tuner Dave Setphenson, who's run in hundreds of bikes, has two tips:

 

"Find a long downhill stretch, get in top at about 50mph (80kph) and wait till the bike's pulling ahead of the engine, then whack the throttle open. When it starts to pull, shut it again. That causes a vacuum in the crankcase, pushes the piston rings against the cylinder walls and helps them bed in."

 

The second tip is not to use synthetic oil for running in. "It won't just slow the running in process, it ruins it - do 20 miles (32km) for new on synthetic and the engine'll need stripping." the bores and bearing surfaces end up polished and unable to hold a film of oil. the same thing happens when you run engines in too carefully

 

 

cheers...

Thats "breaking in" for you. Another version of "running in". Actually this 2 method doesn't makes a big difference if you intend to keep the bike like for 2??3 yrs. The big difference might happen after 5 yrs?? or more. It just that some ppl have this feeling of running in properly is the correct method cause that is what last time ppl did all the times. Anyway anyone know hows a bike's engine condition after more than 5 yrs with breaking in method? So far I only know those using run in method is ok.

[kinwei]

But one thing which I agree on is during run in, dun stick to the same gear and dun stick to the same RPM/Speed. Accelerate/decclerate frequently.

For a stock bike, the mileage for main tank is ard 210km~230km. The furthest I hit for reserve is 70km @ 130km/hr constant. But left around 1L more.. so reserve roughly ard 80km~90km. For singapore riding, no whacking of bike is roughly ard 17~18km/L. Some guy bring their G6 for Teka mapping and manage to get 290km before hit reserve. Hope this helps. Meanwhile Happy Riding!
