- Myths about Engine Break-in, Running in Period on a Motorcycle.
My friends who buy a brand new motorcycles like the Bajaj Dominar 400, KTM Duke 390, KTM RC 390, Yamaha R3 etc should consider watching this video. Thank you!
Awesome video my friend. The explanation was amazing. You simplified the entire concept which helps new comers to the motorcycle world to understand it better. Just love your Myth Busters .
***** Thank you very much for watching and saying few nice words... Your comments helps me get motivated... Wish you a great week ahead.

lol, those dogs video-bombed xD
Anyway nice video mate!
The reason for the hard break in period is for the following reasons:(1) to allow all the bearings, moving parts such as selector forks, etc. settle into place. (2) For the period before the first service the oil used is of a lower lubrication grade so that the moving parts can wear in faster. (On expensive bikes the motors are run in past this stage). (3) New cylinder bores need to build up a glaze caused by hot engine oil. (4) The motor or whole bike might have that one in a thousand bad part that slipped past quality control. You don't want to find out that the gear selector fork, bearing, etc. could not take the extra stress caused by the rider thrashing the life out of a brand new tight motor at a high speed when it locks up!! (5) The mechanics in the bike shop that assembeled the bike out of the crate might have forgotten to tigghten something up or were distracted partway through a job on the bike and forgot to finish the task. I've seen a brand new Yamaha YB100 have all its engine bolts fall out and the motor start to come out of the frame during its first 500 miles from the showroom. A Suzuki GSX750R have the sump plug fall out directly after the first service on the way home from the dealership. I came around the corner to be greeted by a 1/2 mile of engine oil along the road and a pissed off owner sat by his bike. (6) Most importantly the oil in a new motor is highly contaminated with dirt, metal crap, swarf, etc. during the first stage of breaking / running in and will overheat a lot easier than normal as the oil filter clogs up and stifles free oil flow.
Soft, you mean soft break in period.
Seems you know your stuff. So would you agree with the guy in the video? I did 160km today because I had to get home from the dealership. I will read the manual tomorrow. I asked about the break in at the dealer and nobody had any clue... the rev gauge actually starts blinking on the duke 390 at around 6000 rpm, so it’s telling me to not go over. The only questions I have is what should be my lowest rpm and what is better. Stable cruising speeds or different speeds.
@@janmajnik6889 vary ur rpm frequently
I experienced the 5th point you said today itself with my new Bajaj Pulsar 250. I took the motorbike at 80kmph, 5000rpm, and engine oil started to leak. Took it to service center and found out that oil pressure switch wasn't tightened properly at the factory. But I wonder if I wouldn't have pushed the motorcycle slightly, how would I have come to know about this?
i want to buy a ktm 390 but i am confused between rc390 2017 and duke 390 2017. which one should i buy?
Thanks for considering my request bro...and that camera angle at the starting is amazing especially in the corners...
Swapnil Sathe Thank you very much bro.. Thank you for watching.. Have a nice day!
thanks Vikas Rachamalla bro even i did the same with my rc 390 second day in the morning i went for the ride and did 110-120 kmph on 6th gear on 7k rpm because i read the manual first .. hehe
please do the video on chain cleaning and maintenance of duke..
thankx
wasim shaikh Thank you very much for watching bro! Yes, I already have a video on Chain cleaning. Please find the URL Below. Good day! th-cam.com/video/iobN3HuZLwE/w-d-xo.html
I was also confused with this, but the dealership in Norway was well informed. Let the engine work easy. Dont think to much of the rpm. Ofcourse not full throttle.
And use all gears. Dont stay in the same rpm all the time.
Good video Vikas :)
Alexander Hauge Thank you very much my friend! Have a nice day!
one more, do not ever lag the engine!
Could you explain the meaning of don't lag the engine?
@@uttamjeetsingh7451 means don't ride at too high gear at low speed. Means, avoid low RPM
Sid Skywalker when should I down shift? I go into a lower gear at 4k rpm. I have a brand new duke 390.
Thanks man I want a drag race with my friend I have a new R15 now I can do it ...thanks man
A racer will do almost anything in search of an advantage over the competition, even if it means risking life, limb and machinery: Everything from removing mufflers and running dangerous gas blends to questionable oil additives and even secretly (against the rulebook) tuning a motor or skipping meals to reduce weight.
Another old trick in the racer’s book is to remove the air filter in hopes of cutting the inlet restriction, thus increasing power. A quick search of the ever resourceful Inter-web revealed that this old trick has stretched far beyond the track as many people are even ditching the filters on their streetbikes. Some claim they “felt” a sizeable increase in power while others noted little to no seat-of-the pants improvements.
Although running without an air filter on the street can be risky (more on that later), we decided it was time to put this old racing folklore to the test on the dyno. Was it worth a few more ponies?
On the dyno
To keep things as scientific as possible, all before-and-after runs were made on the same dyno no more than 5 minutes apart from one another. We also decided to test both a stock Ninja 1000 and a modified Hayabusa in the order of fairness since one bike might respond differently than the next. We’re not saying that all bikes will react the same as these two, but a lot can be gathered from the results.
We rolled the stock Ninja 1000 on the dyno first and made a few pulls with and without an air filter. The big Kawi gained roughly 1 HP from 7500 RPM to the limiter without the air filter in place. Changes in torque were negligible at less than 1 LB-FT.
Next up was a modded ’Busa fitted with an M4 full system. Oftentimes uncorking the inlet side of a bike that already has an open exhaust usually nets larger gains than if it had a stock exhaust. Think about inhaling air through a huge pipe and then having to exhale it through a straw-it’s a bottleneck. Considering that, a bike with an open exhaust was a nice alternative to the stock Ninja. After some before and after pulls the ’Busa netted roughly 2 HP from 6800 RPM to the limiter with a torque increase of less than 1 LB-FT.
Myth: Confirmed. Plausible. Busted
Both bikes did gain minor power without an air filter, but at a huge risk to severe engine damage. Beyond ingesting large road grit, it’s the small debris the human eye can’t easily see that will quickly destroy an engine. Instead of the air filter catching these contaminants they’re free to enter the motor where they will quickly destroy valve seats and even your cylinder bores and rings. Eventually, the motor will begin to leak compression and oil.
Although 2 horsepower for free might sound great, it’s really not free when you consider the cost of an inevitable motor rebuild. However, if you’re a racer in search of every last ounce and refresh your motor several times a season, why not? Otherwise, stick with your stock filter or look to a freer flowing (but still protective) aftermarket replacement.
We The Indians Thank you my friend.. Your comment is very helpful.
my pleasure mate
Dukehood u
You also need to variate the rpm with a new engine. Don't stress it and when you do eventually have it ran in dont just go balls to the wall max rpm full throttle, gently ease the engine up to higher and higher speeds and at that level of rpm the piston is reaching a slightly new part of the cylinder. Its not a great idea to sit at one constant rpm for long periods of time either while running in. Or so my Yamaha manual says.
+UKFreedomFighters Yes mate, you are correct! Thank you for watching. Hope you are subscribed to the channel and do enjoy my other videos also.
Wait, piston is reaching a new part of the cylinder? How is that possible? The stroke length remains the same irrespective of the rpm. Varying the rpm results in variation of friction. This varying rpm would also remove the microscopic unevenness from the cylinder and piston and will make the new engine perform good both at low and high rpm's in the future.
can we take the bike to hill roads for a perfect break in??
Nope
Great vid but one thing you missed is that run in is needed for is work hardening. Work hardening is a process by which when a metal is stressed and de stressed, it hardens over time. kind of like when you bend a paper clip back and forth it will slow get harder to bend. But everything else you mentioned is 101% correct.
Best practice is to read the owners manual and do what it says.
+sayan das Hope you are subscribed to the channel and do enjoy my other videos also. Thanks for watching!
Where did the extra 1% come from!?
wait..... if you bend a paper clip back and forth it heats up and the metal becomes softer and easier to bend....
Thank you for saving me a rant. Where the hell would someone even come up with something like that? He is either a straight troll, has extreme memory loss, or kinda nuts.
irrelavant13 that's what work hardening does. metal can be worked until it become brittle and breaks. in this sense, the use of the word hardening refers to the molecular structure of the metal becoming less flexible, friction increases in the molecular chain generating heat and weakening the bonds. Eventually the yield strength is reach and the metal becomes fatigued and breaks.
LOL #3:32 even the dog start to think what are u saying :P But anyways really usefull info . :)
+Himanshu Sawant Thank you for watching mate!.. hope you are subscribed to the channel and do enjoy my other videos also.
Some great stuff on this channel...!!! Great job sir. #Subscribed.
Saurabh 772 Thank you very much mate! You can find me on Facebook too, my ID is Vikas.Rachamalla . Cheers!
Great video sir..!!! Thank you for sharing this info.Please continue uploading more videos on Motorcycle Myth Buster.Pleasure watching your vidoes.
Fleming Winston Thank you very much bro!
Your right sir.
I think its so you don't identify any faults with the bike, until its out of manufacturers warranty. So the costs are yours alone.
Any advice about the CVT transmission scooters in specific. Just bought a Suzuki access
Vikas Rachamalla : Thank you so much for posting this video. Truly appreciate it.
I have a doubt. It would be great if you can clarify it. What if the bike did not have a rev meter like the Royal Enfield? How to do I handle this situation ? :)
Shashank Suresh Very nice question mate! I would say, just make sure that the engine is not stressed. You can feel that by the vibrations produced by the engine. be in a gear which you feel is keeping the engine vibrations lower but still is producing enough torque.. Hope you are subscribed to the channel and enjoy my other videos too..You can find me on Facebook too.. Cheers!
Vikas Rachamalla Appreciate your reply. I'm getting one soon. Hopefully things will fall in place. Thanks again for your information. Ill sub and follow you :) Thanks and ride safe!!
always loved your describing skills.. difficult things simplified
Thanks very much for the kind words bro..
Exactly ryt , Volkswagen and Skoda doesn’t recommend running in period , even Hyundai & Kia have mentioned that No running in period is needed but at the same time they recommend to drive Hyundai & Kia diesel cars to drive between 2000-4000 rpm for the first 1000 km or 600 miles
Thanks for watching. Hope you enjoy my other videos too and hope you subscribe
Changed my piston and cam shaft and new valves. What should I follow ? Should I use stock oil or semi synthetic would be fine ?
Wow this is such a great talk, today I have been watching 4-5 video's saying that to follow owners manual and I was feeling bad that I didn't do that change of oil and bla bla bla but the last video was urs Vikas brother, thanks a lot, I mean it., love to be with u in Hyderabad..
+nithin lonavath Thank you for watching and hope you are subscribed to the channel and do enjoy my other videos also. Cheers mate!
Well I’m not so sure if I should trust a guy on youtube over a manual from the people that designed and built the bike.. 😬 I love the video otherwise but do you have engineer or mechanic education/work? :) thanks
Even I had done the same techniques for my R3 (took it to 148kmph too xD) and not listening to the dealer. Glad to hear the same techniques from you too! Only the first 100-150 are a bit crucial, since the minute filings from the cylinder and piston cannot be smoothened even by precise machines. After 150kms, you can revv the bike beyond the specified rpm limit, without damaging the engine.
Nice video bro
When i bought my r15 the salesman told me not to exceed 50 kmph
So i used to ride the bike at around 45kmph
Life On Two Wheels Yes, I understand bro.. Thank you for watching! Have a nice day!
In which gear bro
Vikas Rachamalla they told me the same with my ktm.but i didnt listened.awesome knowledge for beginners like me. what u feed your duke sir?
i feed him speed petrol.. good fuel isnt available easily like octane 91 or 93 or more..plz suggests your subscribers on good fuel crisis...plz sir..
regards
Gursewak Singh Thank you for watching mate! I fill regular 91 octane fuel.. Good day!
Sir i recently bought r15 but due to lockdown i am not able to complete my break in period what should i do
Hey. ..I had a small confusion...recently I got an RC390 and it has ran 250 km....today my idiotic friend took the bike to a high way ripped it until 10000rpm and hit 150 kmph....and the 1st service isn't over yet...will there be an effect on the bike???
+Tejas Shivarudrappa No mate! Do not worry. As it has been done only once. Nothing bad will happen to your engine. Thanks for watching!
+Tejas Shivarudrappa
I have brand new H2 Ninja with 100 miles on the clock, the other day I ran it up to 12000 rpm - no problem - fucking good fun too!!!!
brother need your advice as I am 5.6 tall which 600 cc bike will I fit in without tiping toe. Will triumph street triple be a good choice
manish anurag you'd probably look for the "seat height" in the specs of the bikes. Maxabout is a nice website to checkout cars n bikes' specs.
After completing 500km in my RS200, i m taking it to my native which is 180km far. can i cruise it constantly at a even speed. Many people says that it will affect the engine while doing in constant rpm. Help me please
gowtham k 180 Km is not far, so you can do that during running in period also. Max 6500 RPM is fine and do not ride in top gears at very low RPM. Happy Riding! Hope you enjoy my other videos too. Hope you are subscribed to the channel. You can find me on Facebook too! Have a nice day!
Thank u so much bro.. Your reviews are logical and perfect. And also i love the way u describes. Just i m a beginner, i dont know much about maintaining motorbikes. Thanks for ur reply. See u soon. Take care
Very helpful. Thanks for sharing.

We The Indians Thank you my friend!
Knowledge attained!
+Abhishek Shukla Thanks for watching mate!
who let the dogs out? at 3:40
who who who who who
Very wise advices! Just drive softly during the first 500 km, let the bike go without stressing it. Congrats from Portugal, Sam
Whats the bike in this video?
Heya friend! I have a sneaking suspicion you'll like my 'Who you callin' a sisterf*#ker' video. Great video. Thank you.
Generally when we buy bikes, the sales person says that not to go more than 40-50 kmph till first service..is is it good as per your opinion or not?
raghu ram Reddy No mate, it is not required to ride so slow. Again, depends on the engine size of the motorbike. If it is a 150cc motorbike, yes, you can ride at 60 kmph. Basically, forget the speed, focus on the RPM, make sure you do not stress the engine. You can ride upto 70% of the max RPM. Thank you for watching my video. Hope you enjoy my other videos also. Hope you have subscribed to the channel. Have a nice day!
Vikas Rachamalla
thanks mate, i watch your videos regularly and i'm subscriber of your channel.i love the way you describe things.thanks for information finally :). i hope you get better and better day by day .
raghu ram Reddy Thank you very much mate!
Its simple,
Just follow what your bike/cars manufacturer said in "manual"
Not the mechanic or the Dealership
Superbikes don't need a running in period as they are already done break in from factory
But a cheap commuter bike may need that.
When i visited the AshokLeyland Plant as part of my internship, Every units tested in dyno to full rpm. and also the Test drivers drove them with pedal to metal in Testing area
If you are going to Rebuild the Blown engine.
You should follow the mechanic or expert because the Local machining shops never get the precision of CNC.
What about Royal Enfield UCE? I RIDE MY NEW RE AT TOP GEAR AT 80 KMPH. CAUSE OF THAT I HAVE 2 CHANGE MY MOTORCYCLE PISTON. I THINK THINGS R DIFFERENT IN ROYAL ENFIELD.
WAITING FOR YOUR REPLY.
I bought my fiat punto multijet from Bikaner showroom and drive straight to Delhi for 480KM in 7.5hrs with top speed to upto160KMPH. Car is perfectly fine.
Computers do control the process and the parameters but not the finish...it can be consistent though but the cylinder bore is smoothly finished by a process called Honing...which is quite older...I saw honing machines in 80s at Bajaj...still the tools used today are almost the same.... Patience boss, have some and be safe..
I agree on the lubricants, oil and technology but the basics remain the same in engineering and the physics...do respect it, follow the manual than Mechanics..true...
Even the materials have changed over Time. Be safe than sorry.
I have recently bought gixxer 155cc.. Nd i usually run it in 4000 to 4500 rpm with a speed of 45 to 50..is it good or i have to change anything in it.. I have also done a speed of 76 at next day of my purchase will it harm my engine??
Hi vikas, I bought gixxer 150 about a week ago with 209km mileage, tried to break in this afternoon 109km with an rpm at 5th gear around 8000, did I do wrong? Thank you in advance
Manufacturers run cars and bikes on a dyno to test them out and that's at different speeds and loads that exceed what they tell us to run the engine at. It doesnt take 500 miles of various riding types to seat rings or any other metal on metal part. 500 miles is excessive. I can understand 100 miles but even that is a shit load of ring against bore contact. Anything that is going to wear in should be seated with in 100 miles. I built a full on drag racing stroker 383 with a big ass hydraulic flat tappet cam and I ran it for 100 miles with break in oil (high zinc content) then i changed the oil to royal purple and drove the shit out of it. All cylinders were even with all the testing I could do, including a visual inspection with a magnified cylinder scope. After I switch oils from the break in period I never had metal build up on the magnetic drain plug or the magnets in the oil pan or when I cut open the oil filter. Alot of this break in info does seem to be old fashioned shit like changing your oil at 3000 miles. Modern oils last alot longer than that. I've changed the royal purple in my ls1 at 5000 miles after many hard miles and quite a few nitrous pulls and it was still purple and clean, just a little bit darker. The engine had 33,000 miles on it at that time. It's at 60k miles now and the oil still comes out clean and purple every 5k miles. Sure, break in your engine but some of these break in recommendations are excessive.
Really the best advice to enjoy your new bike and not be paranoid is just don't rag it. The specific rpms are just a guide so everyone doesn't go out and thrash their new engines.. Think about it, what difference does a couple plus hundred rpm make ? none, its just a guide, all you do is break the engine in a little faster, there is no exact science. Common sense is the best advice. You can enjoy it at any rpm below max providing your not holding it at high rpm or full throttle for long periods and you are varying your speed a lot. You will have a properly run in engine if you do that. If you run it too slow you risk not getting bearing pressure, not hardening the metals and only slightly polishing the mating surfaces. Followed by correct maintenance, drop factory oil when your manual says, check valve clearances. You'll be good
Bro i decided to buy a bs6 250duke within a week is it ok to ride the motorcycle at 50kmph on a 5th gear? or else 4th gear? I taught to dnt cross 60kmph until my first service.
How many engines have you developed? So you're saying that the OEM's makes statements in the users manuals just for the sake of doing it? Even if engine components are machine made today the surfaces are still rough, they are smooth for the naked eye but as you probably now metal expands if you heat it meaning that you are smoothing the surfaces by being gentle. Looks and examine your oil at the first change and you will fine the "rubbed" off metal and other junk in the engine. It's hard to keep everything clean.
There are other practical things like faulty material and heat treatment for wearing out parts...
Which may cause failures like cracking and breaking..literally into pieces...can happen....that's why we have to be very careful ..so the speed limits....furnaces for the heat treatment are also controlled by microprocessor these days but still people attending and monitoring are humans Only....
So better be safe than sorry
ninja 300 manual speaks 4000 to 5000 rpm during runin period. I've barely crossed 5000rpm mark. ninja300 did a speed of 73kmph at 5000rpm. Is that fine? or did i messed up?
breaking in by *cruzing* 200 km is extremely bad idea, its ur misconception that the CNC polished surfaces are better. there is something called surface mating.other than that i like your straight from the heart videos.
First to view and like!!
Convincing explanation and what I want to hear!! I'll definitely do when I get my Duke 390 (probably in a month or two!!)
ஜெயராமன் ஆம்ரவநேஸ்வரன் Thank you very much for the support mate. Have a nice day!
Its an amazing episode vikas... U really doing well with these stuffs... And am eagerly waiting for more stuffs like these.. Thanks for helping me out with running in period :)
+shanmuga sundaram Thanks for watching mate. Hope you enjoy my other videos too. Hope you are subscribed to the channel. You can find me on Facebook too! Have a nice day!
I'd heard it was the RPM you had to be careful with when riding a new motorbike. Nicely explained! =) Are you a mechanic by trade or is it just tweaking with bikes yourself you've learnt stuff? Ride safe =)
Pinky Doodly Hello My Friend, thank you very much for watching my video.. I wish I was a professional motorcycle mechanic :) However, I am not, I have learnt a bit of it by working on all my motorbikes :) I love your channel, very nice videos you have.

Pinky Doodly Okay :) Wish you a nice weekend..
Is the engine break in important for a scooty as well? 😅
Ofcourse yes.
And also there is nothing like pre-run in engine. The manufacturer perform it because it is the first start of the engine and eyery thing should be taken care of like rpm, tempreature, oil preassure, oil flow, ignition timing and many more which a rookie rider does not care.
Bro what about varying the rpms. Many say to vary the engine rpm during break in
What is that bike
Hello vikas sir... I ve bought a new ktm rc200 and I did a 280kms ride on it ...And I was riding it on 6-7k rpms not on a constant basis...I found out that the engine was giving a smell that resembles of some burn found in electrical wiring but that thing was coming from the engine...What's ur say on that?
+Akarsh Shetty Do not worry mate! That is just the smell of a hot engine and coolant. Congrats on your new motorbike.. Cheers!
@Gabriel David It's Vikas we really can't question his knowledge on bikes, plus everytime time he states something there has to be a really good reason to back it up, so I do blindly believe in what Sir Vikas says and so far I've learnt a lot from him, whatever skills I've picked up today is because of him💯🙌
hello vikas
thanks for the very informative video and also clearing misconceptions
could i request you to try doing a run in video on Royal Enfield classic 350
+nik rebello Thank you for watching mate! Hope you are subscribed to my channel and do enjoy my other videos too.
yeah always have to be a little more careful while running in royal Enfield bikes
Awesome bro....you really helping new riders to go in a correct and getting out of myth probs.......thank u and u are awesome
Hanoj Reddy Thank you very much my bro! Have a nice day!
The reason you don't want to write it on the highway is the oil filter will get clogged with shavings that's why you want to be on the gas off the gas best thing to do right at 100 miles change the oil then you can do whatever you want
Sir, i love the way you simplify things. Very helpful for the people new to the motorcycling world..!
Hey brother i need your help
I got my pulsar 160NS and day after I drove it on a highway for 270 Km... Now my friends are saying that my bike engine life is reduced because i have not RUNNED IN the bike.... Should i be worried? By the way my service booklet says dont drive above 45Kmph for 2000 KM.... And i drove it at 90KM/ph
Ab Kaisi hai bike
I Need your Help ! I just purchased a ktm duke 200 and had just completed 160kms on the odo and my brother rode it for once and Revved till 7500-8000 rpm .. will this effect the pickup of the bike ? please do reply sir
if you do once or twice then nothing happens bro, but continuosly doing like that wont be good for the engine
hey vikas I m from mumbai, I just got a new ktm duke 200, my bike rpm is 1000, it does not get over that also I don't rev it, top speed I did was 75 and it was for almost 500 metre Rd that's it, my average speed is around 50 to 55, so does it will affect my bike performance in future, it's been 15 days I have completed around 290 km
Atul Dube You mean 10,000 * RPMs. And yes, it WON'T go above 10k as every engine (car or bike) comes with a "rev limit". That's where " redline" starts. One shall not redline the bike during break-in period.
And you've said you don't rev it? Man, then how did you know that YOUR bike doesnt go a ove 10k RPMs? As you've also said that you didn't go above 70-80 kmph. sigh! 😥
Just keep the RPMs below 7.5k something and you'll be good. (pay attention while watching the video 😥"
Is it true please answer vikas sir
Sir could you suggest tips for dominar run in i ride at 80 to 100 is it good and i ride near high steep areas hilly area is it good to ride near hilly areas in running in
made a skid on that same turning on my p220..!!!!i stay at shameerpet.
superb explanation anna..
tarun kumar Thank you very much bro for watching.. Oh, I hope you were not hurt..
ya i secured my head with a LS-2 bro plss suggest me some basic riding jacket and pads
tarun kumar I suggest you to call my friend. His name is Vinay Mohta. He has a shop which sells motorcycle gear. His phone # is 8885500515. Tell him that I asked you to call him. Call in the afternoon. Good day mate!
Vikas Rachamalla where is this place that you are talking about? HYD?
shameerpet ringroad near celebrity cub main gate
I'm sorry but I lost track around 3:35 when those dogs in the picture lol had to rewind
Awesome video bro! Most of the mechanics tell us to maintain it like a 100cc bike! Even in RE manual, it is mentioned to ride around 50kmph during run in period!! This is not at all possible! The lowest speed for top gear is 60kmph! If we go below it, the engine starts to knock and chain sprocket also may get damaged!
Thanks for watching. Hope you enjoy my other videos too and hope you subscribe
royal Enfield isn't a polished engine so better be careful while running in.. exceed the 60kmph on open straight roads but just for a while.. then come back to a lower gear and slower speeds
I own a dominar 400. I breaked-in my motorcycle correctly but once my friend took it from me and he rode it very harshly. My bike at then had done 790kms. Will it effect my bike's engine or it is ok if it is done once.?
No,nothing will happen.When I bought my rs 200 on 12 dec 2016 I rode it at its top speed on the first day.Everytime I used to ride it at high speed,I also used to do hard acceleration and full throttle starts.
Till now everything is fine.
Watch this video th-cam.com/video/xpoglovyy_8/w-d-xo.html this person has done an experiment about bine running in period
Watch this
this should have been your first video, well i bought duke 390 and ridden in city, the chain got loose, and later i had to go to svc to tighten it up.
i also had misconception abt engine oil which i cleared from different mechanics.
thank you for sharing this video.
do make many more videos like this.
ride safe. and if you ever come to delhi do join us on the a ride.
ps. we ride below 100kmph
jatin gupta Thank you very much for watching mate! Yes, I will sure join you for a ride if I come over to Delhi... Have a nice day!
I bought a Pulsar AS200 on October 19th, 2016 and have done 250km so far and not have really crossed the 80km/hr. Can I take it for a 1000km (includes to and fro Mumbai-Indore-Mumbai) ride this week, i.e November 10th?
+Ramkumar Venkat Yes mate, go ahead. It is absolutely fine. Do not ride too hard and keep the speeds not above 100 kmph. Hope you enjoy my other videos too. Do subscribe.
+Ramkumar Venkat thanks for watching mate.
Vikas Rachamalla Thanks for the go ahead, man. I am a big fan of yours and do watch your videos. Will watch it all one by one slowly and get inspired furthermore. :)
Yeah good point dude...at yamaha they say do wateva speed u want to just stay below 7000 rpm...great explanation...cheers!!!
Rachit Dobhal Thank you very much mate!
Vikas does revving the engine upto 5000 or 6000 in pulsar 180 harm the engine
If you want your car or bike engine to last as long as want and also give as much power as you want. The first thing is to drive your vehecle without hitting the redline or you can say do not put too much load on the engine. Reasons- because the engine cylinder consists of a criss cross pattern which helps it to lubricate piston rings as the piston moves up down it cuts or sand those grooves over time which should be done gently because if this process is done harshly it can cause the rings to loose or can also make them rotate inside cylinder causing compression loss and more blow by also the bearings should be taken easily because putting more load at engine cause the bearing balls to loose or worn.

What about Royal enfield? Is it the same case applies here also
Bots still have errors and only premium engines comes pre-broke from factory. All under 2L bikes aren't pre broke properly and will permanently & significantly damage engine if running at its threshold RPM. So Yeah for Bajaj or KTM bikes available in INDIA its scientific to keep the RPM below 50% for first 5k KM after buying.

Off course and already subscribed. Waiting for the Avenger experience video for Ladak trip.When that will come ? I am thinking to buy that bike so I need to know how that performs in thin oxygen environment without FI.
Exactly!! Run in period is the 'limitation' on engine rpm and not the speed, one has to maintain, i took the delivery of my duke 390 and rode off to my place which is 300 kms away..very same day. I was doing constant 120kmphr(keeping engine rpm under 6.5k). And i was riding in 'different rpm ranges'(never to ride in a fixed rpm for longer duration), thats very crucial aspect for engine seasoning....
Praveen K R Thank you for watching and letting us know your inputs mate! Have a nice day!
Can you make a video for how to prepare a motorcycle for long term storage just like 6 months or so ...wanted to know your opinion anyways nice video sir..really learned a lot..ride safe..cheers!!!

+Aadarsh Shakya The only major difference in Semi synth and full synth is that full synth will last much longer.. Duke 200, you can use Motul 7100 mate or even the 300V... Thank you very much for watching mate! Hope you are subscribed to the channel and do enjoy my other videos too.

Hi Vikash, I am finding one issue with my bajaj ns 200 which is just 7 days old. i am getting low fuel pressure indicator after riding for like 4-5kms. I am very much worried. Please suggest me what I can do..
yesterday i bought the honda cbr500ra 2016 model, went on a 150km ride with a lot of gear changing, city riding (was not that hot) and highway. Know i want to know, was it bad when i was driving like 10-15 minutes all in 4th gear at ~3000rpm?
plz do read it vikas its an answer for your video i think
clearly explained. i was having diz doubt for years.
one thing i do know. the thing dat u said about volkswagen. coz i was working at volkswagen. first service is 15000 km or one year. nothing to worry about. just buy a volkswagen n start driving it as long as u wish.

It's a 200ns done 60000kms
my piston was burning engine oil, so i had done engine boring installed new bigger Piston , so what should i do?
as of now I'm driving slow.
Hello Sir, great video..I bought a duke 200 on 27th Feb, have been riding it on city and highways bewtwwn 4K to 6K RPM. In 6th gear it gets 60-70 at 5K RPM. Am I doing it correctly or is there anything which needs to be changed. Also till today I could ride only about 100 kms. Any suggesstions and views will be very helpful to me. Thanks
So nice thanks for clarification bro nice topic
Stay blessed

Do lower CC motorcycle also need a run in? For Example :- Suzuki Gixxer, Honda Hornet, Various Pulsar's etc.
Sorry for the late comment!!!
But when I bought my 2017 ns 200 I was told that riding new bike below 40-60kmph for 2000km was for the sake of developing riding skills and understanding the brand new bike so as to reduce accidents.
Engine running in is supposed to be done at varied speeds and engine stress levels.
The point is to make the engine parts sit well with each other.
Riding at constant speeds during the running in periods is disastrous for your engine in the long run..piston rings in specific.
We can give short bursts of low too gear high speeds and roms after the engine heats, mid range speeds for majority of the times, and subject to traffic.
The bikes need to be submitted to all kinds of loads that it's gonna experience throughout its lifetime.
Great video btw, ride safe!
This vid helped me in my r15's break in period as i followed what was written in the manual and not what the stupid mechanics or what other people said(drive on 30 kmph) thank u sir :)
