Will it be ok??

Husaberg_sTaV · Feb 11, 2009

I'm wondering if my '08 fe550 will be ok for a 4hr enduro this Sunday. I bought it a couple of weeks ago and haven't had the chance to ride it yet (apart from once down the street

). It has 6.7 hrs on it and has had an oil and filter change.

I went to local mx track today to run it in further after being told the track was open, but when I arrived they informed me that it wasn't so a 75 mile trip for nothing! Anyway because of this I've not been able to run it in for the stated 15 hrs, 50% and 75% throttle etc.

The enduro on Sunday is in a big forest so can't imagine it will be full throttle, just wondering if it will be ok.... :?

Cheers
Steve

I say ride it as you normally would. I would not hesitate.

Hi Steve,

thereÃ‚Â´s lot of different opinions of how to run in a new bike/engine around...

My advice: Ride it like you stole it
take a look here, it works:

PS maybe you should change your nick now SteveFE550?

Cheers, that made for some very interesting reading, I think the bike will be fine, I've done a fresh oil and filter change and checked the screen. It all seems spot on and like I said it's already done 6.7 hrs so should be ok.

Yeah how do I change my name to SteveFE550 then?

It is what it is, 6.7 hrs at those hours mine was getting full throttle. I just wouldn't buzz the engine at high rpm's or lug it too low.

Send a private message to schwim (Jason), the god and master of UHE. I changed mine a few years back.

don't chop the throttle to full closed after a WOT high rpm burst

its instinctive to do so... ooh i give her a fair whak better give it a rest, its better to pull the clutch as you close the throttle.

its supposed to be the highest loading a crank and rod sees? and a few guys sais they did their mains after doing that
