Default break-in period question

Does your car rev 8 or 9000 rpms regularly? Do you pin the throttle regularly on your car?

I change all my new quads at 1 hour to get any big left over material out right away. Then every 10 hours.
What is the cost of good syntheic oil compared to a complete rebuild?

I've had quads since '97 and never had an engine trouble. next your going to tell me that these rhinos have an air filter element that you have to clean every 10 hours? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

hey, I just changed the oil for the second time, this time it was 25 hours between changes and the oil looked almost as clean as it was when I put it in. 50 hours the next time!!! and the air filter element on these things IS the kind you have to clean and oil lol.
