break in and rings seatting

[harley1-5]

I am still in the break in stage on my banshee.I know this sounds like a newbie question,but I know that as the rings seat/bed in compression can increase.Would the rings starting to bed in cause a significant power increase?

A significant power increase? No. Some power increase? Probably, but it'd be really hard to notice it, considering you shouldn't be riding it hard.

not riding it past 2/3-3/4 throttle.Its a power increase none the less

 

[waffle429]

Huh. In my experiences, I've never really noticed a power increase during break in. Then again, I've never owned a banshee.

maybe im just starting to get used to it

As the rings bed in and start to follow the contours of the cylinder compression will raise, that increase of compression is bound to affect the power produced.

Wether you will feel a significant increase in power is for you to judge, but the power should increase some.

I noticed that the powerband comes on sooner

I noticed that the powerband comes on sooner

temp change ?
