okay i bought an mhr reprica 70cc and installed it on my aerox. How many miles do i have to do?cz there new
well its ally so all u gotta do is set the ring end gap and thats it i think but some 1 correct me on this? id do around 100 miles jus dont hold the throttle open for long n let it war up
new kits dont mind full throttle... they just dont like it for more than a few seconds at a time... basicly you can ride as normal.. just be a litle soft on the old full throtle and DONT hold any rpm for any continuous ammount of time.. keep an ear/feel out for how the engines doing/what its saying at certian throttle positions an just keep ckeckin its setup... if in doubt just dont ride it till you sort what you doubt.. once setup you can pritty much rag it as you normally would.. (if you had it perfect then installed an identical kit new) you can pritymuch rag it from new, just not prolonged periods at first (my airsal kit was never run in, never let warm up really.. min or two at idle an not ragged hard from cold, ragged EVERYWHERE (200 mile a week) and after 2000k of this sort of abuse was mark free... pistons got wear but thats expected.. especially the fact its bodged..)
The manual says 40-60 mins not over 6000 rpm.and thats it.So i have done 200 miles already.Never passed the speed on 55k/m on hills i opened the throttle again not passing 55 k/m so i dont damage the cylinder and piston.my mechanic said do 500k/m. each time my tank empties and i fill it up i can go 5k/m more in speed. Am confused..i want a the kit to be long lasting and not to break down and need replacement after 1000miles or something.
well if you done too 200 miles already been steady. then thats more than enough. now give it a good run !
Are you sure?am really afraid because i payed 200euros for them;p i never let the bike reach top speed only up to 55k/m max for a short period of time.And after 8-9 k/m of non stop riding not exceeding 55k/m o stop for 10-15 mins
mate its an alloy bore they dont really take much running in. 200 mile is more than enough for an alloy kit. when i fitted mine i started it left it for 5 then turned it off. then started it again when for a steady ride. then let it cooled then went out and kicked it arse and then did everytime i got on it. and was fine for thousands of miles. dont worry give it a good ride
the piston has 2 rings not one btw;p does that make any diff? btw how many miles did the kit go?before needing replacement thanks for all the advice btw ;]
yeah the MHR rep kit is a double ring kit which is more reliable then a single ring kit. i sold the bike before they packed in so not sure.
all i say on this is... they CAN be ragged prittymuch after they been hot and cold a few times.. yours is more than ready (its a race part, race bikes dont get run in really, just the warm up session/laps befor the race) if it DOES explode it WOULD have anyway, just that little bit sooner.. thats as much as i can say.. so providing you know its setup (not running funny, plugs a nice colour, doesent suddenly gain or loose speed/revs when holding a certian throtle position for long periods, alwys the same engine tone just faster and slower rpm) then rag the fucker i set mine up rich, with the wrong rollers for the pipe (broke the other one) and give it what, 3 miles befor taking it to top speed.. done 2000 trouble free miles.. nicasil is great. its MADE to be ragged for half hour/an hour stupidly then stopped for a bit.. so ye, short blasts, even hour long blasts are ok aslong as it stays cool. just dont do sily missions.. keep a little oil in the petrol for safety (never hurts to add 5ml per litre.. ) and enjoy.. you paid all that money for a kit thats ment to GO FAST.. whats the point having it if your gonna ride it like a 50? your 50 at full throtle everywhere would be as fast as your riding yours RAG the fucker.. you will like it.. jus dont take the piss... (no more than a mile full throttle... just imadgen its a crosser an your riding round a track.. )
can this be sticky please just to clear up any confusion on running in. really helpful for those that don't know :beer:
yes, it is proven that if you don't rag it fairly soonish, you will actually have a poorer performing engine, so as minor sed, if it's set up to a good standard, there should be no problem in giving it some flat out, I rode my bike to the petty station fairly gingerly, filled it up, gave it some short blasts (my bike was a bit rich so was bogging a bit anyway), after the jetting was sorted, I literally have it up to 11k every time I ride it, never skipped a beat touch wood, if the jetting is correct, then the kit won't mind
ang on... your "mechanic" tells you how to run somthing in, but didnt set it up for you? go get your labour cost back, you paid him to do a job he didnt do properly and its gonna cost you your kit... maybe the bloke thinks if your gentle and it lasts 500 miles he is free of responcibility.. go get some jets, get some rollers, read up and do it yourself.. there are mabey a handfull of people id let touch somthing of mine. literally.. in the entire country. and thats only if i had to mind (or its somthing i plain couldent do or didnt have tooling for...)
I have a 17.5 mm dell carb if i install that for now will the scoot run okay? Dammit i hate being a newbie at this.Asking all this questions..Sorry for all the questions.;p The jet on the carb is 95 i checked
they used to run race bikes in by warming them up and sitting them at full therottle for a couple of minutes, after with they rattled like hell but produced soo much more power than a "conventionally" run in one. just listen to your engine, it will tell you if there's something wrong.
