Running in a new Hyosung GV250

[Trouser]

I also have used the mototune 'method'. On three bikes and a scooter it has not let me down. My current honda cbf 250 got a right royal mototune running in. Goes bloody well for a 250 single now.

At your stage its too late for a perfect job but please, please, please for the sake of your new engine change the oil and filter. Or at the very least the oil.

I changed the oil in the three bikes at 80-100ks and it was filthy and full of metal. As it sits in the oil change pan I could easily see the shine of metal floating on the top and suspended in the oil. The oil filter for the first couple of changes had quite a lot of metal and bits of fluff in it.

I second this aswell, i changed the oil of my GT250R at 35kms and it was full of metal shavings!!!!!

Run my DL 650 in with the mototune method, not the high revs initally but plenty of WOT. The reason the manufactors don't recomend this is if someone got killed giving the bike WOT they might be liable.
I've had two Honda TRX's that needed new rings at 10,000km because they were run in easy.

Hey thanx for the help. That website was really interesting. I have now done just over 200km, after reading that webite i will change the oil and filter of my bike tomorrow. I have also signed up for their newsletter. and I will ride it harder now, I have been riding it hard but now I will ride it like i would normally ride it. Cheers

Want to keep your warranty? Then pay attention to the manual and advice from the shop. It's pretty simple. If they find out you've done it using the "break in secrets" method and something goes wrong, even if it's unrelated they can just turn around and tell you to fuck off because you're not following the manufacturers recommendations.

Your choice.

I ran my Triumph in using Triumphs guidelines (running in process goes all the way to 1600km) and it's running BEAUTIFULLY. Up to 63,000km now, no smoke, nothing.

Fuck thrashing the engine for two extra horsepower. It's not relevant anywhere but on the track.

I'm amazed this topic comes up every 5 seconds. Are the dealers not telling people who buy new bikes about how to run it in? or are people just ignoring what they say?
