Re: Gearbox issue
Not sure what they should have done- all i know is what they did do-
it had mineral oil put in at the 1000km service. The guy in the shop agreed with us that it should be on synthetic oil now. Not sure, but it's working much better.

Re: Gearbox issue
If the rings aren't bedded in by around 200 K's on modern sport bikes it isn't going to happen!Johnnie5 wrote:

Re: Gearbox issue
Have you got any proof that the rest of the engine is machined so poorly that it needs to be run for thousands of ks? Funny considering that racing engines don't even live that long.Johnnie5 wrote: but its not just rings that need to bed in properly

there is no proof and no mention that things are machined so 'poorly' as you put itMiG wrote:Have you got any proof that the rest of the engine is machined so poorly that it needs to be run for thousands of ks?

majority of the run in happens in the first 1K , but engines tend to run better as they approach the 10K mark or further depending on the brand
