Running-in

[RFT]

a while back (on the old forum) someone posted a recommended running-in schedule for the NSR (it was a bit more detailed than the offical honda one).
can anyone remeber what it was?

I think it might have been me.

0-100 miles : 5,000rpm
100-200 miles : 5,500rpm
200-300 miles : 6,000rpm
300-400 miles : 6,500rpm
400-500 miles : 7,000rpm
500-600 miles : 7,500rpm
600-700 miles : 8,000rpm
700-800 miles : 9,000rpm
800-900 miles : 10,000rpm
900-1000 miles : 11,500rpm

That's max revs, don't go ape shit if you acidentally go over it - but whatever you do - do not ride up the road sitting at the max rpm for hours upon hours. The best way of running in a bike properly is to accelerate and decellerate repeatedly, this puts proper stress on the engine as opposed to pootering around the m25 for 600 miles at 7,000rpm.

Use good quality two stroke when running in, and don't be afraid to give the bike some proper stress within the limits of the schedule, honda engines can certainly take a lot of abuse.

cheers- i'm basically just riding it up and down the many and varied backroads of warwickshire and around town- lots of lovely bends and speeding up and slowing down.
counting down the miles...
