Just remember how you're supposed to run her in Phil, half your normal oil, MUST be fully synthetic and agressively use the entire rev range, from cold throughout the whole trip.

Should bed in nicely

[phoenix n max]

Yep mine too - will be with me tomorrow

Phil,
tony's absolutely right. You need to be getting some speed into them new rings else they just won't get up to their proper heat range.

Tony, remind me again how thick my lead fairing should be?

At least 2 inches, 4 inches at mounting points etc likely to be under more stress.

Always happy to help

Don't forget another great way to run in the bore liners is to put a handful of sand into the oil. You might also want to speed it up by dropping some shingle into the plug holes as well (although ball bearings will be better if you've got some).

Hope this helps,

Phil..

Don't forget your spare leathers!
