Yeah, not sure i have the patience to wait to spring anyways. 


There's a lot of debate on breaking in procedures (almost as many opinions as engine oil  :)). From what i've read, this is my plan (the cam and lifters are orginal so no break needed for those, just the rings)


- 1 min @ 2500 (until oil starts flowing back to tank)

- 1-2 mins @ 2500-3500 until it gets to 70% high temp (~ 280F) (“mid-RPM WFO blasts”)

- Let cool (~ 175F)

- Restart, run at 2500-5000 and check timing with strobe. Make any carb adjustments. Run for another ~5 minutes 2500-5k

- Change oil and filter (still use break in oil)

- Get engine to temp

- Ride 25 miles modulating rpms (bed brakes during this time)

- 75 miles normal riding

- Change oil/filter to synthetic

- Re-torque bolts, check valve lash, and check belt/chains after 25, 100, 250, 500, 1000 and 1500 miles
