rs 50.. how long??

[Hutchysrs50]

ok, well...

i have fitted, new main bearings, new crank, new cylinder, pistion rings ect.... ect... ect... pritty much a new engine apart from the gearbox..

and i just wona know how long i have to ride slow for..

i change gear around 6k revs as the power comes in around 7/8k revs

iv been doin this for about a week now, and i just wona see what it has to give at red line! some crazy women in a red beatle overtook me and i just wanted to nock it down a gear and have some fun! not sit there goin

my speedo doesnt work so i dont know how many miles iv put on it, if its around 600miles on a brand new R1... surly i dont have to do 600 mile on a single cylinder 50cc!!!!

I would say do 500 miles but an r1 and your bike still need to run in. Makes little difference

If you want it too last, just go steady for 2-3 tanks of petrol and whenever you start it, let it warm up for a few minutes even when run in and go gentle till its at full temperature.

[Hutchysrs50]

well its gona be snowing soon, and its gona take about 3 month toget 500 mile on it

i had a little RS50 which i fitted a bore kit etc etc too with new crank and all that. i ran i tin starting at 6000 revs for 100 miles (aprox 1 tank of fuel) then for the next 7000 revs, then 8 et cetc. going up to about 9 or 10,000 revs . then i gave it short blasts of above that and let it slow down, then the same etc. i think i did this until about 700 or 800 miles. took me about 3 weelks i think.

ride it mcDonalds, then find osme new roads, visit friends, ride for fun, ride for experiance. dont go opening it up too early thoguh or oyu'll need to start the process all over again from the saving of monies to do the rebuild !

as said, always warm the bike up and take it easy for the first five minutes, or 10 on extra cold days!

[Hutchysrs50]

good advice

thats all im doing now, i was at Mcdonalds today

i normly go to my friends, but since they live kinda local, only a few mile away... it would take ages, i obvs like to ride around for fun... but there isnt much fun to be had doing slowwww.
I let it slip past 6 once to see what it was like, and since you have had one yourself you will know they feel quick when they go past 7k
i dont wona make a habbit of doing this, but dare i say it.. it was worth it

iv heard alot about fillin it with petrol, and putting it on a high idle.

i might do that to bore it in, what you people thinking??

no, it needs to have varying load on the new rings to key them to the barrel properly, only way is to ride it.......gently and no wide throttle openings at low revs.

it would probably end in tears and another empty wallet, just stick to the proper procedure. its not forever and will pass quicker than you think

im thinking an old R6 around the 1998 mark, mebys more if i could afford it, the insurance for me now is £520 a year tpf&f
in a good area in a locked garage ect..ect..

im not exacly Rich, but at least i have my own income now, which can only be a come thing. chances are im still goign to be gettin an aprilia rs 125 first anyway, just wanted to know if it can really be done

and yes, i will be doing it myself, a few month ago i knew nothing about bikes at all.... now iv rebuilt my engine on my own, and no the bike inside out!

Thanks for your help.

hutchy dont sell your 50s just yet i wana race you when i get me new 1

imo it depends on how much you rate your riding..wether you beleive you should get more experience on a 125 or beleive you can be safe and step up 2 a 600 etc.and lets face it alot of people will just take the restrictors out

[Hutchysrs50]

ha, dont worry, im not sellin them just yet

i think if im going from an an rs 50, to an R6... the restrictors are there for my safty

i ride my rs and tzr at full throttle, think that plan will work on an R6 without restrictors lmao! I Think not

let it idle for about 20 mins , let it cool down completley then take in out for a drive with varying revs not going into the redline though , i dont know about rs 50's isit a nicasil bore ? if its iron you dont want to run it in too softly otherwise the barrel will become glazed and youll never be able to get the full power from it

also use non-sinthetic oil to run it in , fully synth or semi-synth actually make the running in period last longer

[Hutchysrs50]

well... im running it on semi-synth atm....

i think its made of iron, as its quite heavy and a stock barrel...
