You have a oil cooler system? I was told that if your running a big bore kit it's not good to let it idle for a long period of time or to run it hard for more than like 30mins w/ out an advanced coo ling system...?

Re: how to correctly break in a big bore engine w/clutch

I wouldn't run any engine hot to break it in

Unless you mean "hot" is letting it warm up to turn the choke off , and riding it a little .

I would just drive around at low speeds for a couple of days .
And don't rev it high . Then maybe change the oil after . And don't use synthetic .

Letting a bike idle on the kickstand for a long time doesn't sound like a good idea . It will build to much heat without any air blowing on it .

And an oil cooler really does not work unless you are moving , letting air go thru it .

Re: how to correctly break in a big bore engine w/clutch

i ride the **** out of new stuff... just no extended idling, or constant speed constant rpm (like highway steady for an extended period of time) and I change the oil/filter at 50-75 mi, 250 mi, 500 mi, then i follow the regular intervals.. never had any major breakdowns (other than racing, and the missed shift on the turbo bike) and i had alot of motorcycles
