I got my new bike fresh from china opend the booklet that came with it. It said that run in should be aprox 7000km ...hehe So i took the old girl for a quick cut and that was the extent of the runing in period. Motor lasted about 40hours i guess, keeping in mind that i had no interest in making the motor last, just a pure pleasure.

Lots of engine braking and riding up hills and stuff. Do a search on running your bike in and you will get plenty of answers.

i highly doubt anyone will get 7000 km out of a pitty motor, well not before it needs work. we all know they are not built to last and for the price why would u complain, its cheap fun and thats why the pit bike scene is growing bigger every day.

keep it at half throttle each gear n shit n every now and then
rev it then throttle off and let engine braking kick in.
keep doing that in the first tank of fuel

after that ride it hard.
if you dnt put pressure on the rings then it wnt
properly form and once tht cross hatching goes
then you lost your chance of getting a properly seeled
rings and my have to re crosshatch it.

if you fuck around and dnt ride it
hard then you wnt get the most of out ur engine
once break in has finished.

and besides if ur rings dnt get used to the pressure put on
the rings holding it flat while in break in then your rings wnt form
a proper seal at tht pressure.

i rode my hard as soon as i got mine.
nothing is wrong
starts 1st or 2nd kick
plently of power
