What is the thinking about running in new rings in the glaze busted bores?
Been thinking slowly build up the revs and dont let it labour for a couple of hundred miles, or do I just ride it like I stole it?
Thanks.

Re: Running in new rings
I have had lots of varying advice on this
Going to go for keeping the revs up, short bursts of high revs, longer periods of slower running, dont let it idle at first start up or when stopped in traffic
Reckon 20 miles or so ought to do it.
Hopefully have it back up together next week.

Re: Running in new rings
Don't overthink it to much , use the bike as normal , don't lug up hills in high gears, vary the revs and keep the engine running light .
Re: Running in new rings
Very true not to overthink - there are so many differing views on the subject, I am sure it will be fine.
