Same with you, have fun. And when your ready get a HMF slip on, makes the bike sound SOOOOO much better, even if it gave no performance gain i would have bought it for the sound.

VelociRaptor350-- you dont know what yoiur talking about.. bro.. you have to take it easy the first 20 hours.. first only go 1/4 throttle for an hour... then 1/2 throttle.. then 3/4 throttle.. then full throttle at about 5 hours into break in.. the gears have to get used to each other before you start draining the clutch on the gears.

I love 'em. When I ordered them I tried for the factory 9 inch rim sizes, but they were all out because of people buying just the tires and putting them on stock rims. I couldn't wait, so I got an additional 1 inch offset to get rid of the tippiness and a 10 inch rim on the rear. They have no sidewall flex and dig pretty good. I will go with holeshots again next time around.

Not true.. If you dump your clutch and your trans at break in.. what do you think will happen. You dont ride it hard just to seat the rings.. you just let it warm up for about 15 minutes.. ride it a little.. slow and calm.. 1st n 2nd gear then let it rev again in neutral for about another 10 minutes then go for your 1/4 throttle in all gears.. then 1/2 throttle in all gears then 3/4 throttle in all gears.. Perfect break in is how i just listed it.. an hour of riding with 5 - 10 minute breaks( in neutral) every hour and an hour for each interval with the throttle is perfect.. change the oil after 5 - 10 hours (after break in) and then ride it hard as you want... you must break in the trans and the clutch in order to break it in correctly.. dont dump high RPM's and torque into a brand new clutch.. youll mess up the friction plates... Warm it up as long as you can and rev it in neutral for a while and that will seat the piston rings perfect!!!!!!!!

I dont not like what he sais i dont totally disagree but you shouldn't dump on a clutch or new transmition.. and most people will agree. The pistion ring part is very true and you want them to seat perfectly 360 degrees but you can do this by reving it in neutral while warming it up!!

Changing the oil as much as you can during break in is the best thing for your quad!!!!
