When breaking in a new quad, what exactly are we breaking in? Is it the transmission? Or Engine? Both? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

prolly a lil of both......but I would think that it would mainly be engine.......

 

definatly breaking in the engine more than the tranny,but i would have to
say both

 

what you are doing is shaping your rings to fit your cylinder walls... when you have a fresh bore it is honed, basically a bunch of diamond shaped scratches in your cylinder that basically grind your rings to fit, you only have a few rides to get it broke in properly, some say ride it easy gradually getting on it more, i say ride the hell out of it

 

thas what i think......that is what I have always done.......

 

Uhhh, Roger that Houston.

YA I USUALLY DRIVE IT EASY FOR A LITTLE BIT THEN HAMMER THE CRAP OUT OF FOR A LITTLE WHILE. I WOULD SAY PROBALLY ABOUT HALF AND HALF BUTS THATS JUST ME.

 

Thats exactly what my mechanic said when we got the shee bored, he also said not to get it over 3/4 throttle.
