[QUOTE="julien_d, post: 1393578, member: 98751"] The difference between that and heat cycling the engine is having pressure to force the rings against the cylinder walls. When the bike is on the stand, no matter how much you're varying the RPM, there is no load on the engine. There is not enough force to mate the rings to the cylinder wall. 3 heat cycles could be 30 minutes or more of running the engine with no load. According to Mototune's theory, this is plenty of time to create an oil glaze on the cylinder walls. If he's right, and that does happen, the rings will never seat properly afterward. It all makes sense to me. I still do at least one proper heat cycle when using a forged piston. With an OEM or aftermarket cast piston, I don't worry about it. Crank it up, warm it up, and ride it like hell. [/QUOTE]
