Breaking in a bike

[gavjn]

ummm it runs at about 70-80 but at lights and shit it went 2 lyk 100...
jst never had a digital gauge so dont kno lol

[3umph]

in theory is is harder on an engine to be run cold rather then hot...

[sinfull]

does nodrog ride is bike i thought it just stays in the garage

And the shine ! The sun just so reflects of the polish (when it's at just the right height to shine in throught the garage window !

rofl fuckn love it, str8 up and out of nowhere.

really wish that were the case, the bike has SOOO much more power than my pisshead 250 (which is unfortunatly the most powerful bike ive riden ><)

Prolly why they have ya keep to 4k revs for the first 800 clicks lol

100 aint too high but i would let it get to say 110 and if ya fan don't cut in by then i'd worry !
Just dont load the bike by labouring it too much and like someone said start upping the revs by 1000 every 100 clicks after that first 800 ! Biggest would be not sitting on 4000 rpm all day and risk glazing the bore (which has already been mentioned) i'd rather take it over that limit ahead of loading or glazing !

jst another noob question... wats lyk the hottest temp your engine shud get before its not good?

check the owners manual?

if the oil gets too hot it may get too thin, but that would/should have been considered in the oil choice when the kawasaki engineers designed the bike,

therefore, check what temperature the kawasaki engineers reckon is the maximum rather than KB punters

My fan kicks in around 104-106c.

it might pay to mention that coolant doesn't boil until 110 ro 120 degrees, and that while it's boiling off the temperature should not rise any further (until the water is gone, that is....)

i have a zx6r and am currently breaking it in, have done bout 150ks on it and missed second and hit neutral at 8k revs... is it bad that this has happend?

also, have heard many different things bout breaking them in, owners manual states that 1st 800ks go no higher than 4k revs and 2nd 800ks go no higher than 6k revs... i kno this is the bottom end mark so that they cant get bitten in the ass bout anythin, but 4k revs is NOTHING ><

wats acceptable?

Im guna break mine in at taupo.
i say after 100km do to it what your guna do to it. they redline them at the factory before shipping them to us.

That's it, It's fucked now.
Give you $3,000.00 for it.

Rode my Fazer straight to Taupo, took it easy for the first session, then to hell with it.
Two smoker's No3 race bike was run in between Mt Eden Motorcycles and Silverdale (30km?) then it was full noise for the next 1500km.
Interestingly the No3 bike had better HP than the No1 bike which was lovingly broken in and significantly more modified. Go figure.

Constant revs is possibly the lowest strain you can put on the engine while you're riding the bike. If you need some strain on the engine to bed things in then constant revs could be bad.

Dont forget that a modern 600's engine is designed to... accelerate, then decelerate...
not for cruzing aw bro bro down mission bay for a pimp.

I read somwhere that constant revs heats the same parts, whereas varying revs allows the parts to become loaded then unloaded and release heat.

it was on this website or in the GSXR owners manual...
