people have different viewes as to how to break them in. some say gently, others say not so gently. someone once explained in a thread on this site that the piston rings and cylinder are relatively rough when they are first put together, and dont fit snuggly together (not close to the exact words but the general idea is the same.) it is important that you properly warm the bike up before you do any hard riding on it. the person that posted the above idea said that to get them to properly fit together you need to ride the bike hard, as hard as you would race it, because the rings need to match the cylinder for when it is being used at its maximum potential. however, others say that it should be gently worn in, by using smooth gently throttle control. both hold solid logic, but my personal vote is with the first idea. just passing on what i (think) i remember.
