START UP AND BREAK IN RECOMMENDATIONS
To give your engine maximum life and performance please read these recommendations thoroughly. These recommendations are assuming
that your engine has been installed by a professional mechanic and all aspects of proper engine installation have been addressed.
Pre-Start Checks
Oil System:
Some things that you should not do prior to starting your engine are:
1. Never assume your oil tank is clean enough:
Oil is your engine’s life blood and installing a new engine in a motorcycle that has not had the oil system (tank, cooler, filter housing)
thoroughly cleaned with new oil lines installed is definitely something not to do. All new tanks and coolers should be inspected and cleaned
prior to installation.
2. Never assume your oil lines are on correctly:
Double check that your feed line, return line and crank case vent line are routed to their proper fittings. If you are unsure contact the
components manufacturer or professional mechanic for proper routing.
3. Never run your engine without an oil filter installed. Oil filters prolong engine life and are a must for performance engines.
