[QUOTE="Buckholz, post: 27017, member: 17671"] In KTM Underground a couple of years back(that's ktm's quarterly newsletter), Mike Rosso discussed proper breakin for your new KTM. Gist of the article was: 1. Start it up, warm it up gently, until both radiators are warm to the touch. 2. Gradually ride off and take it easy for the first 5 minutes. 3. Ride for the next couple of hours at 3/4 race pace, not bogging the engine, not flogging the engine. He said something like, "... a easy/fast ride thru the woods" 4. After burning a tank full of fuel, your KTM is broken in. 5. Change the tranny or engine oil, tighten spokes, tighten drive sprocket bolts, locktite your kickstand, tighten subframe bolts,.... Go race. Remember to always let your water cooled bikes warm up before taking off. ------------------ [/QUOTE]
