440ex brake-in...32degrees outside

[balls2da-wall]

This may be a dumb question but is it a good idea to go out and break my top end in when its 20-32 degrees outside? I may be nuts for wanting to ride when it's this cold but I just got this sucker back together and am aching to ride.

Thanks, Dustin

im sure it wont hurt it, just take it easy on it and make sure its jetted properly and i think u could test ride in at anytime

just dont go rippin the bike around. take your time and you should be fine.just dont jump on and go.

yeah ive broke it in before...im thinking 2 hours of riding it for 15 minutes and letting it cool down then riding it again and so on...

u want to keep it warm during break in, just don't rev it up high. give it quite a few hrs to get the valves and rings to seat right, then change the oil after ur sure its broke in.

its just new rings...i lapped the valves and adjusted them...this is the first rebuild the 440 kit has had on it. New clutch and rings is it!
