[QUOTE="mkandl53, post: 285333, member: 28843"] Yea, the bike is that new and we did the break-in pretty carefully the day previous. I am pretty careful about the warm up. I have had bikes for so many years... The last couple is a KX250 and now the CRF450. I let the bikes warm up for about 3 min prior to running them hard and we had about 1 hour on this machine. The seizure occured on the second day of running and at the ime of seizure, it was about 10-15 min after the warm up... I am curious about the mention of cold seizure with the bearings as I have never heard this before... I always thought the cold seizure referred to the piston and cylinder temperature differentials causing a metal-metal contact; not related to bearings. Anyone else know anything about this? I have been involved with bikes or kart racing my whole life, but believe it or not, this is the first rod bearing I have ever seized up so I am not an expert in this area, for sure. Thanks again for all the insight and guidance here. [/QUOTE]
