new bike break-in procedure

[jim7411]

I have a new YZ250 and i was wondering what you guys usually do for break in procedure on your new bikes. I have the manual and I now what it says but I was interested if in the real world people tended to break their bikes in a bit harder than the manual would suggest.

I ride mine at low rpm's for about 20 minutes around in my back yard. Then I stop and let the bike cool down, then I do it again. After that I think the bike is broke in good enough for me.

I agree with 826, but I only go for about 10 minutes or so and let it cool down COMPLETELY. I usually ride it for about 10, then put it away until the next day,but alot of guys don't have that kind of patience.Do that 3 or 4 times and then pull it up on pipe and HOLD ON.
