My break in is put together with very little oil on rings then run it thru gears half way to red line and let engine slow me down when stopping. For now I just sit on it and go varooom rooooooom because I need a gasket damit!

Update. Fryday I got all my parts in the mail. So I worked on it and got it all done around lunchtime today. Started it up and it was just a little above 1300 rpm so adjusted that and looked for leeks but everything seamed fine. Took it out around the town a little and still ran well so I went for a longer ride. It did stutter a little after i stopped at one gas station but hell it was only because I forgot to turn the pingel petcok back on. So it went fine and rode around 50 miles then went past a guy I know sitting on his porch and gave it a little gas and it broke up. Went to the garage and shut it off to open doors and when I went to start it again the battery was dead! Its on a trickle charger now but hell it never ends.
