BREAK - IN
The initial 5 hours of operation is
most important in the life of your
Dirt Bike. Proper operation during
this break in period will help assure
maximum life of your Dirt Bike
engine.
The following guidelines will explain
the proper break in procedures.
1. During the first 5 hours of opera
-
tion, do not apply more than 1/2
throttle.
2. During the next 5 hours of
operation do not apply more the
3/4 throttle
Vary the engine speed:
Make sure to vary the engine speed
during the break in period, this
allows the engine to load and un-
load which helps the parts to seat
properly. It is essential to place
some stress on the engine during
the break in process, however, too
much stress could cause damage to
the engine components. Be careful
not to load the engine too much.
Break in period
Allow oil to circulate
before riding.
Allow the Dirt Bike engine to warm
up before riding. This allows the oil
to circulate throughout the engine
which lubricates the components.
Observe your initial and
most critical mainte-
nance service
The initial service( break in main-
tenance ) is the most important
service for your Dirt Bike. During
the break-in time frame, all of the
engine components will have mated
together and seated. Maintenance
required as part of the initial service
includes correction of all adjust-
ments, tightening of all fasteners
and replacement of dirty oil. Timely
performance of this maintenance
will help make sure your Dirt Bike
will have the best service life and
performance of the engine.
