motoman breakin yes or no?????????

[BlgsRX-1mtn]

I broke my sled in using the varried WFO/Low/Mid positions while two up on my '03 RX-1mtn. I now have over 3000 mountain miles (95% off trail riding with extreme engine loads) and, about 1000 of that is under boost. My sled has never required oil to be added between changes nore has it ever needed a drop of sea-foam or any other ring free type product.

There you go. Good luck.

Thanks for the link! Very interesting stuff there. So because I did not know about this procedure before I bought my sled and I did like I think most upon first hearing the sound of this machine, I have started it up to load it on the trailer the day I picked it up, and on probably 5 occasions started it up to idle for friends to hear it, maybe for a total of 5 minutes max alltogether. Should I still plan on following his method with short burts and then engine breaking? What speeds are being acheived during these blasts? 65-75?

Don't worry about the sound show to friends. Pretend it never happened and ride her hard, I think you will be pleased with the results.

What never happened? What speeds were you running at for break-in? I'm hoping for a couple hundred miles next weekend? We'll see. Then it's back for the oil change to the dealer.

this is innteresting, but in my mind the compression over the pistonrings is constant regardles of what rpm you have, so what is happening when you have higer rpm, the piston is going faster you have more heat in the engine,you are burning more fuel and you have higer hp, but the comprssion is still the same. we have built brand new sleds with turbos and lowerd the compression and still no problem even with low boost. and with wiseco low comp piston and high boost then we had a little oilburning and finnaly the pistons were gone. the connecting pin in the piston brake on one side, so we saved the motor

The compresion ratio is always the same but the actual cylinder pressure varies a lot. If it did not you would have the same horsepower regardless of throttle position. That is why you need to load the motor so the cylinder pressure goes up and gets behind the rings.

I will do about 200 miles, then change oil and filter, run 800 miles or so and change both again, then seasonal.
