How to break it in

As with most two strokes, just run really rich and keep the temps up. When mine was getting broken in it got 16:1 premix.
run the same ratio you would run when youre riding it regular. More oil creates a thicker fuel which makes it actually run leaner a bit. 32:1 is a good mixture. Always run premium gas as well. When you first start it crank it and let it run for a few minutes until it gets hot, cut it off and let it cool completely. Do this 3 times. This is called "heat setting" the parts, kind of like they do metals to change the chemical bond of them to make them more flexible and blah blah. When you crank it the 4th time ride it around varying the RPMs but nothing past half throttle. Once youre through a tank of gas feel free to open it up some but not too hard until you get about halfway through the tank. Thats how i did mine and im going on a year and a half on this rebuild, still whooping peoples asses in drag races. and i ride the HELL out of my blaster, still runs fine too.
