banshee break in


Recommended Posts

hey guys,

 

I just rebuilt my engine, new crank, vitos SS pistons,+4 timing,dual stage reeds, billet pump, cool head with 21cc domes,fmf fattys and k&n filter with holes in the lid

i read in the clymers that i should mix 16:1 for the first tank so i mixed 2.5 gallons at 16:1  i started it just to make sure it runs, still waiting on rear bearings for the axle. then i come on here to see what others do for break ins and i see a lot of people saying to run the mix you plan to run later down the road and do a few slow rides re-torque and ride it like normal im at 1200ft and jetted at 320 mains and 30 pilots should i add another 2.5 gallons to mix it to 36:1? or dump the fresh gas and re mix? also how does my jetting sound? i figured it would be a little fat for now until i can plug chop

 

thanks

My beliefs on break in. Mix your fuel at whatever ratio you plan on always running . 2 heat cycles. Set your rings as quick as possible , I ride the bike like I always do . Ride it like you stole it, hard down shifts to help seat rings. Honestly this can all be done in matter of an hr. Re check your compression afterwards. This how I have always done it. Last rebuild I actually picked up 35psi in compression setting rings quickly , from pre compression test , to post compression test after "break in" . Never failed me to each there own. It's like buying a car that's been babied it's whole life , you get in it beat it up real nice. It breaks. Beat it up real nice from day one that's what it's used to.

i thought so too but i just went what the manual said, so 40:1 would be the rest of the bottle and another 2.5 gallons right? its yamalube 2r or s the one that was designed to be mixed...

 

40:1 is 16oz to 5 gallons.
