I found this site a while ago. seems to be more for streetbikes but a four-stroke is still a four stroke. Lets hear some opinions folks.

Especially american Bud,

But all jokes aside, I'm a licensed Auto Service Tech in Ontario, Been through the Apprenticeship, Worked my 9000 hours and got a 89% on my final exam, I'm not saying I know everything but it sure does make sense to me. Any sled I've ever owned has been faster than the same models and I always rode them like they were stolen. Keep them comin'

 

yea i read that a while back. that is the way to do it. same thing goes with cars and trucks

 

I had that link on my favorites folder.
I will be picking up my new 800EFI next Friday and I will follow the break in instructions as they are written there.

 

Dont know on these smaller engines, but in the early 90's a friend bought a Corvette.. the dealer told him to make sure to take it out into the desert somehwere and open it up a few times in the first 1000 miles if he ever wanted it to be able to do it again later...

 

i just drive it like i normally would

 

23 years of breaking-in engines of cars, motorcycles, snowmobiles, and ATVs has brought me trouble-free service from every one of them. I will continue following the easy break-in method that has worked for me for so long.
