So what you're saying is all the bikes are machined shittily (a word I just made up) right from the factory, cause they all recommend a break-in procedure?AlisoBob wrote:Shitty machine work needs to grind together to make it all fit with crap for oil....
Quality machine work lapps together nicely with Ami's mink oil...
Look it up....
Make a joke and I will sigh, and you will laugh, and I will cry.

most OEMs now factory fill with synthetic in performance applications. A lot of them factory fill with mobil 1 vettes, vpers, mitsu evos, etc. Hell, my kawi was factory filled with castrol r4 5w40 synthetic. I've been using rotella blue bottle 5w40 since day 1. I also put blue bottle rotella in the rzr which was factory filled with the polaris branded 0w40 synthetic.
My break-in method is: step 1, start engine, step 2, ride

not on my bike....No, the OEM machine work is good
broke in my cyl from roosty by boiling most of the coolant out and overreving it till it was out of gas, was running a little lean too
no problems with it even after sending quite a bit of dirt thru
the 450 will have less power and will be harder to start, and will be heavier, but to make up for it it will require more maintenance.

I have 3 more of those tapered cylinders here right now too, two fresh from the box (3rd new one is ok), the other tapered one has some hours on it but it was also a new replacement recently.
