does this sound right

i rode my predator for about 2 hours today, so it has around 4 to 5 hours on it now. time for the first oil change and oil filter change. once i drain the oil , change the filter, and put in ps4 oil is that the end of the break in process? (races this weekend ) so just wanted to know ... thanks

The more easy riding hours you can put on it, before you race the better.

I took it easy the first 2 hours, and today i rode 2 more hours and varied the throttle alot and shifted alot to get it used to it.... we're changing the oil this saturday... then i am going to put 5 more hours of not-so-agressive riding in then change the oil one more time and call that good for the break in cycle :devil:

The only point of break in is to get the rings to seal correctly. This can be accomplished in a few heat/cool cycles.

Unless its a brand new engine, then it's getting all fo the internal parts to a happy medium where they no longer disform when heated. If that's the case, you should be fine with 5 hours on it..
