Means you have to run along next to it for a couple of days before engine can take the weight of a person.

It's a scooter - they have trouble taking the weight of one person even after they are run in Dan.

Just means take it easy and don't thrash it for the first few hundred k's. Lube takes a while to work into the surface of moving parts and stuff like that.
