I'd say vary the throttle up to no more than 3/4 throttle for a couple tanks of gas. Change the oil... Check and clean plug... of course clean the air filter after every ride... which should be done all the time anyways...

Is breaking in a 4 stroke and 2 stroke the same thing?

it takes about a hr to break it in, just dont pin it for like the first minutes and dont hold it pinned for like the first hr or two of riding, dump you tranny fluid after the first ride and every ride after

what are you smoking crack? dont post if you dont know...... the most mx 2 strokes only go 7-10 hrs before rebuilds, the new race bikes with nikasil bores usually break in pretty quick to be honest after a hour your probaly ok to go, i beleive you run it rich for the first tank of gas?

ride it like you stole it. Rings & bearings seat in the first 5 seconds of engine operation. Break in is a myth. If they don't seat properly in the first 5 seconds, they aint gonna.

hes right, The only thing you need to worry about breaking in 125's are the tranny, I broke in my kx125 by riding it hard, didnt have a single problem. Just dont misshift.
