hi tomoro im goin to pick up my rs after its rebuild i have the powervalve fitted but also have the restrictor (blanking plate). would i be better to put the restrictor in to stop me from thrashing the bike or will i have to run the bike in at even lower revs if i do? cheers. kieran.

run it in and dont kain it for 200 miles around ( may be completely wrong but thats what i was told ) once you feel the powerband realy kicking in then its run in i believe

i was told a thousond miles last re-build tho? but i did rag it everyware! hence the reason i want the restrictor put in!

It can be painful running in a RS125 esp if you're used to a full power one, I had to keep mine below 6k rpm for about 500miles they said. Old one legged men on pushbikes were overtaking me, But it is something that's better done on a 2stroke.

Although I got to about 200miles and took it upto 10-11k in short bursts, Then let all hell loose at about 300-400miles.

Running in bikes are a pain aren't they?

Keeping the Bandit under 6,000 RPM is quite hard.
