I used the Motoman method...search it.

Basically he says the first 20 miles are crucial for running it in. I was reving to almost 6,000rpm within the first 20 miles :(

Oil and filter change was after the first 20 miles also to get rid of all the metal filings, it is a good read and worked for me. Here is the link actually:

yeh i will change after 20, will also use a magnetic sump plug as hopefully that will collect most of the filings..

and after reading that im very tempted to go with that method gee.....

A few on TGTT have applied this method too and they have no problems.

Do which ever you are comfortable with mate. Both methods basically work, but one method brings better results :rolleyes:

you got any magnets in the oil system?

you cant see the oil filings when they are hanging in the oil. as they are so tiny you cant see them. i have a magnet in my oil filter and on the sump plug.

its once you get a magnet in there that they all come together into a metallic paste.
