I agree,heat cycles,then a nice easy ride through some open fire roads,with short bursts of WOT.
JoJo Kellers' favorite saying was,and still is..."break it in the way you're gonna ride it"....and he always did just that.His mechanics would get soooo pissed when he'd fire up a completely rebuilt 250 or 500,and ring it out to death doing 45 minute practice motos.....then pull up to the truck and say..."throw a fresh top-end in it"!!!

Never realized you are so close !, back in the 80's I lived in northern MA . I was an avid NESC racer/spectator, and you jogged many a memory of "big man" JoJo K., also Tim M., Pat B and of course Dowdy LOVED watching those "A" guys scrap in up at the 'Wick, Pepperel, and Middelboro ! Dam I miss the good ol days when I was young, strong and dumb... :D

Yup,born and raised here in Plymouth,MA....I grew up 5 miles away from JoJo.Not sure who Tim M is,but I know Pat Barton,Jack Camelio,Keith Johnson,Bill Dill,Carl Decotis...who's son Jimmy is now part of the Factory Connection/Geico team.....that's where JoJo was working for a short time,helping train Jimmy in New Hampshire.But,Jimmy ended up snappin BOTH ankles in Cali,two weeks before Anaheim,and left JoJo without a job.

so your saying... I should hurry up, and take the motor out of my bike, and clean it up, so it doesnt look like I have been using your motor to race with for the past 5 months?
