tips for Break in (new bike)

[peepooy]

Hi everyone!

I'm just new to this site. I just bought my new sniper and I wanna know whats the best way of breaking-in the engine for better performance.. Should i run it hard or regular break in?my odo reading now is 104km already. should i run it far? i mean long ride or short ride?

thanks!

sorry for a noobs question..)

Bro just follow the instructions in the manual.. Dont use hard break in your bike will not live long...

Ride safe bro..

ahh ok... il stick with the protocol nalng according sa manual... 0-500km 1/3 throtle... 500-1000- 1/2 throtle... 1000-2000km full throtle..)

i'm bored with the break-in protocol of the manual so i did not follow it..i just used it daily from the start and did 100kph whenever i want to..and now my snipee is 1 year + and it doing great!

Hard break in FTW. Search and you'll find why.

how did you do it bro? you completed the entire cycle (1st, 2nd ,3rd ,4th gear ) then had it reached 100+kph? or
by gear?

 

[odie]

yes used all the gears sir,after reaching that speed i decelerate naturally,then run it through the gears that was for the first 50km on my odometer with a backride.then i used it to run 100+ kph whenever theres not to much traffic and actually its almost everyday till i reached 2500km

i used hard breaking by motoman my sniper r-edition all stock run at 110.

the question paps is how to breakin when its a new piston block , camshaft & valve springs... i think its a whole different approach when an aftermarket part is replaced to the bike... some forumers here says their block & piston even their valves got damaged when they rode it hard... would you risk riding it hard? some mecanics even sabotage the carb so the rider would not run it hard to avoid damaging the engine, any thoughts...

 

[sniper135lc]

i think its better to follow the manual's protocol. its just the matter to let the piston and valve to sit properly on their normal operation and when its already done you can ride it hard. its still new and have some burst on their parts. have to fit it in.

hey bros! any sniper mx user here? just wanna ask any feedbacks on the performance. Just got new one and im just a bit curious about the normal sound of its engine. Im still running at 650 mileage and when I place my ear on top of the carb im hearing a knocking sound, and at high speed i feel a little bit of vibration from the engine,, is it normal since im still on the second phase of my break in period? tnx..

 

[k.e.p.y.a.s]

yeah... were same.. when i reached i high speed something vibrates.. i have red SMX

 

[Adrian Relato]

ic bro, but how about when your in idle any unusual sound like knocking sound,? I actually ask an opinion from a 3 different mechanic they said the same thing coz im still in the break in period and after 6oookm it will just disappear. im just wondering is it just im not used to that kind of sound..! well ill see after 2oookm. BTW bro whats your mileage? nice to hear from you,, tnx

 

[k.e.p.y.a.s]

mg 500km na =)) ma change oil na din sa wakas..hehe

 

[Adrian Relato]

ic, i recommend bro you go to yzone in ortigas to have your first change oil.. they will follow whats on your checklist. dont worry its free just bring your warranty coupon, you will only pay for the oil and oil filter. go there around around 9 am., around 375php.

ill bring my SMX in yamaha 3s shop to have a change oil.. im from batangas.. ang layo kc nyan

Hey bro, im also a SMX user, and as the other user saids it's natural specially when in a high rpm. At first it also troubles me, but to be sure try to ask your dealer about it.

Hope it helps.

i got my SMX this Nov. and im in a break in period too. still thinking if ill do it in a hard and then i just realized ill just do it in a soft way.besides ill just wait for the right time to make my first full throttle to my bike. 60kph maximum. 38km odo.
