I know its an important part and all,, but like a car,, you put a cam in and give her heck,, but why not in a ATV motor??? I hope I broke mine in right when I did have it in,, I greased it very well before I did, I know that for a fact

new cars are also run in at the factory.

if you put a cam in a old car its 500 miles:devil \

the cam in your quad needs to "seat" itself and become worn with the rockers and journels before you can beat on it. then change your oil

uuhh:huh when you put a cam in a car you don't give it heck never in my day have we done that ya always run it at like 1500 rpms for 15 minutes and then baby it the first 500 miles, do not use synthetic either but then after the first 500 you can go to synthetic and give it heck but you never give a cam heck no mater what it goes in a car or a quad
