    Hello everyone I have just fitted a new piston + rings... How long would you recomend running it in for? My kit is a polini corsa 70cc and i was told by a friend to ride at 30mph with no hard acceleration for 100 miles? Well im on my 14th mile now and im sick to death of this 30mph rule. How long should i be running it in before i can go past 30?

    You can do a few full throttle blips mate! Can go quicker than 30 just dont rag it

    Thank god for that! I was getting really pissed of with my mates on their 50's humiliating me... So can i cruise around 50mph rather than 30 then?

    some people say to do about 400 miles! until you can fully use its potential. dont keep the throttle on for too long
