Air cooled top end break in

Post by kdxsully »

A quick search didn’t come up with anything.

What’s the procedure for breaking in a new top end on an air cooled? Is it the same 15 min heat cycles? I presume that’s not good for an air cooled to idle in place for 15 minutes. But, I don’t know. That’s why I’m asking. Thanks for any help!

I would do a five minute warm up, then completely cool

five minute warm up and five minute cautious ride, complete cool down

five minute warm up and ten minute cautious ride, then complete cool down

varying throttle, but not lugging or revving it out too hard

I wouldn't do it any different than a liquid cooled KDX
