A friend got a fiddy at the exact time I got mine.. We broke them in different. I immediately started trying to wheelie mine.. I kept it a low to mid rpms and he just ran the **** out of his and wrapped it out alot.
There are significant differences in our fiddies. His is alot faster on the top end than mine is.. but, mine has alot more torque low down than his. Everyone says and I agree that mine wheelies easier, but he will blow me out when we setup little race courses in parking lots every time.
So, whatever rpm range you break yours in at will be where your fiddy will make the most power. If you are constanly all over the rpm map for the first 10 hours or so, then you will have a good round break in. If you want to race it, ride the **** out of it. If you want to stunt it, pull 2nd gears and ride the brake kinda hard so it bogs, you want those rings to seal real well at the low rpm range.. Anyways... thats just my experience sofar with them.
