Hi this may sound like a stupid question but i just bought an 04 L E banshee and it says during the first 0-10 hours to keep it under half throttle and 10-20 hours keep it under 3/4 throttle to break it in properly is this true?

 

the thing is everybody has their own method for breaking things in. My personal opinion is the break-in period is bull$hit. For the first or second tanks of gas i would say go fairly easy, hit the powerband a couple of times, just don't goes ballz to the wall and hold her there till she blows. Also for the first tank of gas i would go through some phases, run it for 15 or 20 mins and let it cool down, and then do it again. The key to the break-in procedure is the warm-up, let your shee idle for awhile before taking off (about 3 or 4 minutes). well i hope this helps, that's my 2 cents.
