Default Break in time

How many easy hrs should you put on a stroke before running it normal or hard.I have about 3 hrs of easy no high rpm and no steady rpm and I am not sure if thats enough.I am planning on a ride sunday and dont know which quad to take.It could get nasty and muddy.

I the past, I usually run about one tank of gas out before turning out really high rpm's. While breaking the unit in, I generally would open it up but in shot bursts. You don't have to baby the unit.

3 hrs is plenty. They usually go by using 1 tank of gas and break in is done.
