Rick – just two questions did you break in your 09 SERG using Motoman’s Break-in regimen and would you do it again with another new engine?
Motoman says the most important part of the break-in is the first 20 miles. When I picked my bike up it already had 10 miles on it. So, I used his techniques on the 30-mile ride home. It seems to be running well... smooth... good torque and HP...
Yeah, I'd do it again. His logic makes a lot of sense to me. If you look around on his site, he shows you pictures of pistons -- clean as a whistle -- taken out of racing motors after *lots* of miles that were broken in using his technique. Right next to those pistons, he has pistons -- black and carbon-coated -- out of engines that were broken in the "easy" way.
Like I said, it just makes a lot of sense to me.
