I am sure this has been covered a countless number of times but I haven't been able to find it in regards to the Blast and especially the Blast with a 515 kit. What are your opinions? | ||

Do! I used to do it all the time professionally to some very expensive race engines. After engine gets to operating temp. It is not a sustained high RPM. It is just cycling loading and unloading the engine to seat the rings. | ||

It seems like it would work well | ||

Hmmm.......the people that built your bike says dont. Just about every engine manufacturer says dont, but a guy (not Swampy) on the internet says do? Its your gamble. Expensive race engines are generally built quickly, carefully, often and in an environment that supports them well. Follow the instructions the people that sold you the 515 kit suggest. If you dont, they are not likely to give you any kind of warranty. They should also know what they are doing. My guess is that they either suggest easy break-in for the first 400-500 miles (just like Buell did) or (if hard running is imminent-such as in racing) a half dozen heat cycles : Run engine to operating temperature, then let it cool completely. Do Not Overheat. Then run at half throttle on the track for 10 minutes, then you're good to go. |
