I just completed the break-in ride on the rebuilt motor in my 98 KX250. Jim with 2Fast did the bottom end while Eric treated the top end to his 2mm over magic. As you would expect, the motor rocks. To give you a feel for the time on the motor, I burned a full tank of gas during this first ride. The gearbox fluid, (type F ATF) turned a very dark purple during this one ride. I've always run type F ATF in this bike and have never had it turn this color; even in 3 or 4 rides, my normal change interval. My guess/hope is that this is normal in that some sort of rebuilt residue gets flushed out with the first oil change. Any comments would be appreciated. I'm not a clutch abuser. This is the original clutch in the motor and Jim said it looked fine upon tear down. Thanks in advance for your comments.
