How should I run in my rebuilt KX500 ?

(1/4) > >>

KXTC:
G'day,

I have recently had the g/box rebuilt in my KX500  :-D, and they also did the piston, rings, & big-end bearings. Barrel remains unchanged.

I am unsure  :| how to run it in properly after hearing varying opinions ranging from:
1) Longest: 10 hours of run-in time @ 20-50% throttle with occasional blasts and multiple oil changes
2) Shortest: run for 10 minutes then cooldown, then run for 20mins & cooldown, then 30 & cooldown. Drop / change oil and offya go.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated !

Cheers,
H.
