New Gear Break-In

[shortman1166]

I am installing new 49/17t gears and I am wondering if there is a break-in period or just ride it hard and change the oil after a couple hundred miles?

Probably not much. Just change the gear oil after a hundred miles or so.

If it were me, i would fill it with somee non synthetic gear oil (that i would probably have on hand already anyway.) Then change it with the same oil after 50 miles. Then change with a high quality synthetic gear oil 100 miles later. But i already have both on hand.
