Run in

I've heard keeping it under 3k for 1000 miles causes glazing and its better off just to warm it up on dyno for a hour on and off 15 mins at a time then just go for full dyno tune Also when I've one done a 2 stroke piston change I would just give it the beans just up to the power band and then come o...
