Default LT-80 break in

I need help with my Lt-80. I recently installed a Wiseco piston and heard they need a rigorous break in. This quad was given to me without a manual and the piston and cylinder were in bad condition. I replaced both of them and want to bread them in properly

thanks in advance!

piston should come with a thing that tells you how long the brake in period for that piston would be. There all was in the bottom of the box.

You did install the piston with the arrow toward the exhaust?? right??

Do a cpl hot and colds then up to 1/2 throttle for 15 minutes.
I'd not do a long sustained full throtle for a tank of gas.
It'll be fine.

I've never seen directions in a piston box...I'll have to look. LOL

I didn't get the piston from la sleeve I sent my cylinder there 'cause it was scored. If you want to see there break in form it's on their website.
