I guess prudence would be a sarcastic comment folled by a
and yes you will have to give up your Xbox for the week and since you were really bad no kickstarters either

This guy I like. LOL

if you can't laugh you lost over half of life
don't take this life too seriously, no one gets out of here alive

with 2-stokes there's a TON of sharp edges on a brand new, never run before engine.

i'll idle it for 3-4 mins @ 32:1 to knock off the big stuff. let it cool stone cold then repeat a few times. i like to do "heat cycles" on a new engine.
this mates things, gently seasons them with heat 'n stress to a small degree. after that if it's a trail bike i'll go to 50:1 and cruise the first tank slowy leaning on it harder and harder as the day goes on, stopping 3-4 times to let it cool and not getting it hot so as to glaze it and NOT lugging it, while checking for leaks etc. keep it in the butter zone, load wise. dont lug it.

or- you can kick, BRANG! and flogg it. it'll live either way if it's jetted right.

a little warm up first on a cold day goes a long way.

I agree with you one good heat cycle is the big deal
truly amazing what happens in the first heat cycle
I sponsored a rider back in the 70's and we broke them in in the yard and took them to the track and flogged them
he almost always won, crashed and got a second a time or two, never had a problem with the equipment

and....DONT TAZE ME COFFEE-DOOD!...works sometimes too.

my buddy hambone, kick, braap!, super cold morning, i waited a few to thaw out the jug and rad's. he stuck it on the second switchback. over the bar and over the side sort of, pretty funny. coated him in mud on the way by. we rode. he pushed back down the hill to the truck about 1/8 mile and sat for two 'n a half hours. figured that'd fix him.

he got into the lunches and ate all our stuff, drank all the beers too!

writng on the internet is first and most important is courtesy,if you have none it will be an uncomfortable experience as many will mock you
with courtesy and a few silly smiles to indicate when you are being silly or just having a moment is like a flag to say just having fun
coutesy above all is required as we don't all see things the same!

Hey, this is all great stuff guys, thanks. Havent dealt with the fuel ratios since back in the 80s when I had a kx125. This should be fun. I wondered about that strange kickstand and even asked my dealer to tighten it up, but he said it was an automatic kickstand and that it was supposed to function that way. Any other feedback on how to run this bike for breakin is appreciated!

32:1 - idle 3-5 mins. shut off. let cool to cold. repeat 3 times. while its cooling check the bike over, set the sag and clickers. then-

50:1 - WARM IT UP. ride easy for the first 10-15 mins. andstay off the pipe or WFO. just cruise it going up and down the gears. shut it off. let it cool to cold. WARM IT UP, clean it out. shut it off. instantly install new plug and verify jetting.

after that just warm it up and hammer.
