I just recently bought a new 2004 honda recon es and was wondering if it takes a while to get broken in or if you dont need to break it in and how fast it goes exactly cuz my friend says 51 but I wanan know just in case thanks...[/h

 

usley it takes 5 gas tank fill ups till it is wor in or mabey it is 10 top speed i dont think it is that hight because the 250ex gos's around 51 52

 

my friends goes 53 to 55 range we clocked it on the road.

 

50 mph flat

 

It explains in the owners manual about the break in period.

I had a speedo on my Recon and the top speed of my 2001 was 47 mph.

 

When I get it what should I do to break it in...?

 

ride it

 

Would it be alrite to ride top gear? or should i just ride it at a low gear?

 

yeah you want to run through your gears letting your engine wind up a little but dont run it over half throttle ever during the breakin period, but its good to run it through all your gears it lets your tranny break in somewhat too.

 

Have fun, but run it easy. You want everything to "break" in and seat well. Once it is broke in, it will even run a little better. Work your way through the gears as mentioned earlier, but don't drag race it, don't keep it at high speeds for long periods of time, don't let it idle for long periods of time, etc. As mentioned earlier, break it in for a few tanks of gas.

Ride Safe and Have Fun
