Breaking in an alu kit doesn't take as long as with a cast iron one. I didn't really break mine in...with the first start just a bit revving the engine standing next to it...You need to vari the throttle a lot to feel how far off you are mixture wise. Otherwise you'll risk taking a lean running engine out for its first ride...you dont want that! These where the first moments of life: www.youtube.com/watch?v=nganmBmHdn0Then after a few minutes of revving and you take it out on the road no longer than 2/3 seconds WOT and a lot of variation in revs. Don't stress the engine a lot and don't go all out. After that...i drove mine like i always do... Wow about polini! They have a 4th version of their 4 race exhaust? I have the 4 race 1, but i still need to test it on my metrakit. Dunno when im gonna do that but i'll give you a heads up That's how I break mine in too. I also use regular 2T oil with the first tank of fuel. A lot of people disagree with this method so I just keep to myself. But I've not had a single failure in all the 2T's I've built. Unless you count that time that I didn't seat a wrist pin clip all the way? Spaz, when you say regular 2T oil, are you talking about the cheap stuff you'd use in lawn equipment? For the life of me, any 2 stroke oil I've seen that's designed for use in bikes is either synthetic or semi-synthetic; everything that's conventional is designated for lawnmowers/weedwackers/etc.

Yamalube buddy, and you can get it at your local motorcycle shop. Some of your smaller motorcycle repair shops/goody sales also carry 2T oil that isn't synthetic. I even have some Bel Ray that isn't synthetic, which is what I use for breaking in motors.

Hmm...why do you use regular oil during the first tank spaz12? Or is that too much to explain? I can't really remember reading anything about the benefit of using different break in oil with 2 strokes. Myself didn't use a different break in oil btw

Myself didn't use a different break in oil btw Ever since I started using this method: www.mototuneusa.com/break_in_secrets.htmI've listened to what he said and have never had a problem. And he says no synthetic (and explains why) Naturally I substitute 2T oil I've been using this method for about 5 years btw.

I was just curious because I haven't been inside a Yamaha dealer or motorcycle shop recently so I wouldn't have been able to take a good look at Yamalube.
