Sounds like a back up system for the worlds power grid.

2 storeys high, i would hate someone to fill the tank up with petrol and then have to replace the ******s, it would take months.

They are certainly a sight to behold and the noise they produce is incredible.

You don't want to be in the room when they start up! Several occasions I've been in there and been caught out as theres no announcement, frightens the bloody life out of ya!

I have always run in new engines by taking it moderately easy. Generally @ 50% throttle. I have always had trouble free engines (cars & motorbikes)
On my XTR, 50% throttle was a little too slow going so I used 75%.
The key is IMO to use all the gears & vary the rpm and run lower rpm in any gear e.g use 5th @ 4500 instead of 4th @ 5000.

Thanks bonjo, pretty much what I find myself doing. I've too have had trouble free engines in my cars & toys so something must be working.

I would say.... RUN it like ye STOLE IT.... works fine evrytime,, we`re ot talkin about a chinese piece o scrap here,, its Japanese,,,, I know its no supermoto,, but a think when the supermoto boys undo the crate an out pops a Husky or a ccm or whatever,, a dont think they do 1000 laps at half throttle , then batter the a@se of it.... this is 2010, not 1980....if it goes pear shape.. all it can cost ye is :cussing:.....an maybe ye could end up :rip[2]: or ye might jist have a good :017: an say am gonna :hw27: every few miles an hae a :sneeze: an a smoke... then jump on the think anstick yer :tongue3: out tae anyone that passes by an think yer on the british supermoto team :team[1]: or ye could jist listen up an hae a :pain10: wi someone on here who knows better... its entirley up tae you.. i know it must in a round about way prolong the engine,, on the later end after many many thousand miles... but who cares.. its a bike,, hae a laugh an sell it on...ive had new bikes 4 of them XT`s a klr twice, an a Funmoto,,,, i took it easy....WHEN I PUSHED IT OUT OF TH EGARAGE, then that was its run in period over..... i run it in about 3 yds...did it perform, onfull throttle actually wheeling it down the road 100 yds fae ma house,,,,AYE did it last after 10k miles.....who knows,, who cares.... its a motorbike.... it dis wit it says on the crate.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbyLV...eature=related

Motoman tune whatever is popular with my buddies too. I think the running it up then letting it coast down the rev range has something to do with heat cycles too ...
... moot point cos I doubt I'll ever buy a new bike ;)
