    when you put it back together, on the autolube, make sure you put the right bolts in. theres one short bolt, if you put a long bolt in the hole thats meant to go in then it stops the autolube turning.

    i found this out the hard way when it seized.


    put sum premixed oil and petrol in the tank. dnt just put oil straight into the tank as it will just sick to the bottom and go within the first few miles.

    when i ran in, i let it tick over for about 30 mins. took it 50 miles under 30mph, giving it the occasion blip of the throttle, apparently this keeps the rings in shape.

    then for a further 100 miles at under 40mph. then a final 50+ miles going fastish, but not raggin it flat out everywhere.


    remember to keep blippin the throttle every now and again as it will keep the rings in good shape and help clear out all the extra oil the barrel has accumilated.


    when puttin crank in, oil up the big end bearing, little end bearing and mains. otherwise they will run dry for the first few miles, won't necessarily fuck them just not the best.

    Watch out if using the autolube as this mite have an airlock.
    When putting the piston and barel on wipe some 2stroke round with your finger.


    With my malossi sport kit it recomended 40-50mins use at about 1/4 throttle. I did a little longer than this though to be safe.
    Also varied the revs
