      "Ride it like a stolen mule" as a friend recently posted. Basically it's ride the snot out of it. I remember hearing about this form of tune up a few years ago on this site, I guess it applies to those bikes that have been left to sit a bit or have never been over 3000 grand. And I found out it actually works some times. Not exactly sure what it's doing, maybe seating rings, blowing off carbon, moving particles around in the carbs and air filters?? I guess it hold true the old saying that a bike meant to be ridden.

        Break in means vary the RPMs for the 1st 100-200 miles. do not hold it at a steady rpm for a period of time

        Easy enough to do while testing and running plug chops

            Ok, sounds like it won't matter too much to the tuning. I had it in my head you needed to really push the rpms both accelerating and on decel while trying to seat the new rings.
