    Yo guys getting my bike real soon now...!

    I think im getting it brand new

    How long will I have to run my bike in for before I remove the washer from the variator or can I do it from brand new as bikes in other countries dont have the washer in the variator so its not going to damage the bike

    How long will I have to run my bike in before 70s kit?

    How long will I have to run my bike in before my laser xpro exhaust?

    THANKS GUYS! :punk:

    As far as the best thing for your engine goes,
    get that washer out the variator as quick as poss and deristrict the exhaust!!

    I was following a restricted 50 the other week...it was revving its nuts off at 33mph...hardly good for Running in..

    But...you need to check wether deristricting invalidates your warranty ;)

    the variator washer stops the engine achieving its full speed by making the belt slip? in theory it'd be better for running in as youd be doing less rpm - speed.

    then again wouldnt it be ok to just fot a 70 kit an exhaust on it from new? then run the 70 kit in? :wtf:

    having the washer in is like having 3 gears on the front of a pushbike and only being able to use the smallest.

    you need to get the washer out...then you can do 30mph with half the revs..
    much better for running in ;)
