My dad was friends with him when I was a little fella,I would listen and learn as much as I could....Bob is a legend.
We always broke our motors in really hard and they ran better and lasted longer than the rest.
A little top end additive never hurts in a 4 stroke....walmart has lucas for $4 a bottle I use it in all my motors.

Yeah, I get it J-Boy & P-Guy. But this is intended as a street cruiser, not a racer, so longevity is my heart's desire. Taida (strangely) does not offer break in procedures, but they make engines and stuff for both Sym & Kymco, so I'm using Kymco's procedures ... which are :  |

Nah Brah, I'm just busting chops.
Its Your Ride,
I'm big on altering engine loads as similar to Power Pulls on a Dyno. ye we broke in lots a liter class on dyne's with Brakes.
The Finish on the Cylinder is Upwards of 600 so it will last a Long Time. you gunna be happy

It cracks me up to see throttle position used as a break-in method on a CVT! Doesn't matter what throttle position you use, the engine speed is based on other factors, so even half throttle could reach high RPMs. Break it in like you just stole it, and forget all the nonsense!

Correcto! Thats why I didn't even mention throttle position. Load it up a hill. like doing sprints on a bike. heat cycle repeat. won't be able to hurt the 600 finish. 1/2 throttle for 300 miles (PI'll meet with Kymco at Indy in Feb. |

Few days delay to replace a broken engine hanger (swing arm), damaged going over a bump (airborne!) a few days ago. Thinking it may be smart to address the problem of a single, offset rear shock absorber by adding a right side swing arm and second shock ...

First clue was when a friend told me, "HEY! The back of your scooter looks like it was in an accident! Wheel is tilted and pushed to the side!":  Removed the seat and looked into the engine compartment. Engine was sitting there all slanted, with the head 'pushed" to the left several inches!  Turns out the engine hanger is broken. The hanger is the single engine mount (also called the swing arm). It goes from right frame to left ---- with a part that then dips down under the carb, forming a tube from the left side of the crankcase where a cast "ear" is, to the right side where another "ear" is. The engine mounting bolt goes thru the hole in the left ear, then thru the tube part of the engine hanger, then thru the hole in the right ear. The "tube" part of the hanger is welded to the upper part. When i flew over a bump in the road (going airborne) I apparently broke the weld along about 1/3 of the tube. This allowed the hanger tube to tilt, making the engine sit off to the side and on a slant!  New hanger on order. |

I see so Many of those on my dive trips in third world countries.
There Tires would be down to the cord riding on practically the sidewall.
You'll even see some Rentals that way, Gringo tourist's don't know any better.

Most likely the the Head did Not even maintain Stock Compression ratio. The mfg need's to idiot proof and offer a bolt on head. Compression ratio is Maybe the same or Most Likely Lower. These are All (present me one if you can find one) Stock Semi-Machined Casting's the mfg is using a cutter to Increase the Combustion Chamber to Match the Bore size.Thats the Second Angle towards the Outside of the Combustion Chamber. Ive Never seen in any other market were this is done, A Second Angel, What the heck is it for? Butcher job is all it is. Big Valves right? Big Valve's Dropped in Stock Size Seats This market segment is Not ready for Compression or Decent Cam's.  Here is a Bore Specific Head the way it should be.  And Another.  |
