Breakin in Wiseco piston & rings

(1/2) > >>

apple:
How do you guys breakin your Wiseco setups? I do what a couple of folks have told me - run it easy for the first 15 mins, then let it cool off, then another 15 and run it a little harder, let it cool, then again for 15 but bring the throttle up 50-75 for short periods and let it cool down. Is this too short a break in for a forged piston?

monster malibu:
That's the way I broke my bike in after a Wiseco topend rebuild, I then started riding the bike like normal. No problems yet ....

kaw rider:
is it a replate or just a new piston.

apple:
Oops, forgot to mention that, yep, got a freshly replated cyl also.

KXcam22:
You should do 6 heat cycles, that is start, warmup to ops temperature then let cool down fully, before riding.  I think Doordie will back me up on this. Cam.
