I used to work in aviation, and i remember watching a guy fly away from the overhaul shop that finished a major on his Beechcraft bonanza ( io-540). The shop owner who was standing next to me commented that there went an engine that would be back under warranty. When i asked why, his response was that the owner/pilot hadn't used full power on takeoff, probably thinking that he was babying the fresh engine. He then went on to explain the very same things about the relationship between cylinders, pistons, rings, thermal hardening and the break-in period that Ryan did, but without the benefit of video aids. Well done Ryan

Best representation of how to properly break in a new/rebuilt engine (mainly a stock or street engine) and why to do it that way. Of course race engines or blue-print builds are a little different. Tighter tolerances, types of rings, types of bearings, and even types of plated cylinder walls, cylinder hone,can change the break in procedure as well, but that's a whole different topic.

Just remember that while that is true, it doesn't warm up and get all parts right. A short moment to get oil around the engine is fine (which is only about the time it takes to put on your helmet and gloves), then ride gently until the engine reaches operating temperature. That's generally enough time for grease and oil in all other moving parts (ones that may not get heat idling, but actually moving to get to a good running temp before giving the bike a bit more go.

Its unfortunate that the experience isn't universally shared. Ryan makes fantastic content. Fortnine customer service however, encourages people to go to their local brick and mortar to try on equipment and clothing first when you are going to buy something Fortnine has on sale. They don't do exchanges so if you want it for a price, you either buy multiple sizes and return everything or you have to try it on.

@@Darkest_Soul_187 Can't speak for the whole EU, but in Germany the legal regulations for returning goods are part of the Fernabsatzgesetz (mail order law?), so they apply only for stuff you buy online or by mail order. There is no law about returning goods in real (brick & mortar) stores so any "right" of returning goods in these stores is a voluntary service of the shop.

I was a bit concerned about the break in period, but I've actually been doing all of this with my new bike by accident. I've only put a little over 200 miles on it so far and I've been cruising between 35 and 50, taking off in the straights and hitting a few twisties before either stopping to grab a soda or something to eat for 10-15 minutes.

Interestingly enough my brand new Yamaha Bolt owner’s manual described almost the very same break-in… varying RPM, don’t lug the engine and don’t go for sustained high rpm rides (highway). FortNine’s videos are always spot on. I would think the manufacturers know how to break in the bike so the customer gets a longer, lower maintenance life from their product.

Excellent video. I broke in my bike this summer and the service mgr told me to ride my new bike like I normally would. That is, 1/4 throttle, 1/2 throttle, 3/4 throttle, and full throttle in every gear with multiple stops. I varied between road and highway so I had to make stops at traffic lights. I made stops to tap up on gasoline and for dinner. The main thing is not to ride at a constant speed in one gear.

With one perfect pull off road by a car rental place with markings on the ground for u turns practice. And year round riding with extreme heat vs cold. Had it 2 weeks and up to 289 miles already from 8 only when I bought. One oil change done, spark plug & fuel/air hoses changed from factory, getting ready for next round. It sat for a few before I got it, they never rode it ,ever..😢 so being super vigilant will help I hope. These videos are all very helpful and entertaining without being lame IMHO. I have learned a lot. Thank you, years later, it's still helping people.

Ive been breaking in my bike this way without even knowing this was the correct way to break in the engine. See its my first bike and its not a slow one so im slowly learning and getting used to the bike. I take it out on the town streets and go from light to light then climb up on the highway for a few miles while dropping the hammer as i enter the hwy. Then i exit the hwy and come back towards town and do some sprints on the lonely service road with no traffic. After 30 min or so i come home with a big smile on my face and call it the day.

Finally. A nice balanced and factual version of everyone else's passionate fantasies about how two pieces of metal wear together. I've broken in a handful of new bikes the same way. Although my method involved a bit more vigor, with heat cycles and cool downs of course. Oil changes flush out the fines and away we go. Never ever had a single issue with any of them. All ran exceptionally well. One note: the plating manufacturers are coating cylinder walls with these days are EXTREMELY HARD and DURABLE, and don't take to mating with steel rings real thoroughly unless sufficient force is put in the cylinder. The longer the user pokes along, the more apt they are to glaze (heat treat via. mechanical friction) microscopic ridges and peaks in the rings which will ensure they never shear and mate properly.

@Driftuner
@Driftuner 6 лет назад
From an automotive engineer and test driver perspective, you said 4 wrong things according to my experience testing vehicles. First: dont EVER let your engine idle for more than 2min, let alone 5 and let alone a brand new engine. An idling engine does not create oil pressure, and when an engine is running on low oil pressures, it creates heat spots. Now imagine the "heat spot" a brand new engine will create at the tight rings idling for 5 minutes in a cold day. Second: buying in november. Preferably you never want to break in an engine in cold moisty weather, like the one in the video. The (slight) condensation spots that is created within the parts can cause either overheating and/or overcooling and crack materials with different heat expansion rates. Third. Dont do figure 8s to wear in tires. Tires wear-in with temperature, pressure and inertia. One should pump the up the pressure a little more than you would usually ride with and just go out on a sunny day and ride some speeds, hard breaking and corners. Dont worry tires now a days arent "waxed" anymore, you wont crash on a sunny dry weather. And the tire needs that higher speed inertia to sit the wires properly in place. Fourth. What you do NOT want to do when breaking in a new engine is the constant "on and off/hot and cold" cycles like you mentioned. A new engine still needs to "sit and fit" all its components, and that wont happen properly if you constantly let the engine components heat and cool all the time, because different materials and parts sizes/shapes have different heat expansion rates, and if you keep messing around with those expansion rates by heating and cooling it all the time, you might create scratches or even cracks. Theoretically the best way to break in a motorized vehicle is to turn it on and run it with smooth throttle (never full throttle) across all rpms and gears for a veeeeeery long time. Hours. Hundreds of km/miles. And after the first oil change you really shouldnt bother anymore....oh, and preferably you should break in an engine using the best possible quality gasoline you can find, that helps the spark plug, valves, rings, injectors and exhaust/cat to break in properly as well..
@Driftuner
@Driftuner 6 лет назад
...cold days also impact the mentioned heat expansion rates. A very cold engine metal is a lot more "compacted/contracted" in a cold day than a hot day, and expanding that material all the way up to working temperatures might create cracks or scratches. About the low oil pressure thing on point number one: to understand more the theorie behind oil pressures, please watch a "cold day idling" video from a channel called Engineering Explained. That dude explains very simply why idling for 5min is a bad idea. Also, believe it or not, some lab testing we performed at the university showed that, even from dead cold, a piston hardly ever takes more than 20-40seconds to be at working temps. (Gasoline high comp engine; this result does not apply for turbo or diesel engines).

I would still argue that there's more to it than just fuel wash and heat spots in the cylinder. There's also the simple fact that until the engine is warm, nothing fits right. There'll be play, and play is bad. Letting it idle longer allows the heat to permeate the block and things can expand to a more reasonable fit. Bear in mind I'm no expert, but that's how I see it. I'll continue to idle my car for 10 minutes before leaving for work for now.

Thanks FN good info especially about new and slickery tires. Breaking in a motorcycle engine and other moving components is hard work, I've done it three times over the years and it is a constant in life, up and down, red line occasionally, no lugging, and riding in an area where you won't piss off the other traffic as I go about my routine. Hard work requiring conscientious attention to "the plan". Best experience was the first, '75 750 BMW, I swear you could feel it just busting out to get to the next rpm allowence. Quite an experience as the engine responds to what is allowed to do. I use a different formula now than back then but essentially the same as FortNIne lays out, for the first 1000 miles, I'm not sure how many liters of beer that is in Europe.

I got a good kick out of the "Evils of Capitalism" and other contentious topics section. I dig this a bit more than the full-on skits becuase it's funny while still being an informative format. But, literally everyone else seems to dig the skits and I won't lie and say that they aren't imaginative and well done. 'Cause they are, especially the Bill Nye themed invisible riding one. Also, WOW, I did not know anything about the piston/piston wall thing, and the sandpaper analogy is great like Lawrence said. That's incredibly informative, I'll have to keep that in mind.

Rode my CRF300L Rally from the dealership with 0 miles on it, 130 miles back home. Pulled over once to refuel. Varied speeds between 70-80mph on the interstate all the way back. Rode it as I normally would after that. No smoke or sparkles in the oil at 450 miles when I changed it. Hit 1,000 miles in less than three weeks commuting. Get between 60-70mpg depending on how I drive it. Most of the break in period is in the first 40 mile of riding.

@horozco4

You are right. I have been in the auto industry for more than 30 years involved in Product Engineering of gears and axles. Bearings and gears don´t like high speed or load when new. We do break-in cycles on dynamometers always before testing or you WILL get premature failures with bearings galling and gears scuffing or pitting. Break-in should be low to medium load cycles, up and down for first few hours.... NEVER lug it or rev it to redline when new if you want a long lasting gear-train. Then again, you don´t need to die of boredom when breaking it a motorcycle. Figure half throttle and short shifting for first few hundred miles...

You're not going to overheat the rings and warp them. The only heat-related issue that rings can run into is if the gap is too narrow. No amount of break-in will save you then, 'cause the rings will expand, the gap will close, the rings will continue to expand and then you get a seized ring. Hard break-in is what every engine builder I've worked with recommends. And I've never torn an engine down that had damage from hot spots in the cylinder absent some condition that caused gross overheating or complete loss of oil pressure. And I've torn down a shitload of engines. Metal shavings shouldn't be an issue past the first hour (max time it should take to break an engine in), if that. A competently-assembled engine will be extremely clean and produce next to nothing in the way of shavings. If an engine has an oil filter, it should be more than sufficient to catch all the alleged "break-in crud" that will happen.

I like your "give it a few minutes and see if there is something wrong" approach. Some years ago I worked for an engineer who scoffed at my remark about breaking engines in. He said that the materials alloys and manufacturing techniques ( CNC machines that can work to 80 Millionth's of an inch) Obviate the whole break-in thing. Which back in the bad old days of manual machining was required because manual machining imposes all manner of irregularities on the metal surfaces and simply can not compete with CNC. So the surfaces of things like the cylinders, rings gears, bearings etc., are already damn near perfect. And of course metals technology is vastly superior today too. That said you certainly won't harm anything by taking it easy for a few thousand miles.
@LMO169
@LMO169 Год назад
I can only talk for the BMW R 1250 engines. They come from the factory with a different oil filter than the one you get after the break in inspection. This visible smaller oil filter has a tighter filtering mesh that leads in combination with high revs to insufficient lubrication. The rpm must not exceed 5000rpm which is also logged in the ECU. That's one way to immediately void the warranty and get a pricey bill for a new engine if it kicks the bucket prematurely
@davidpennington9125

I like the part where you were talking about higher RPMs and and a lot of that does make sense in certain situations yes definitely need higher RPMs but generally for the break-in on a gas engine I want to be a little bit more on the gentle side and I try to kind of take it easy and then change the oil right after that I've done that forever and my engines always last

That’s pretty much my method- don’t lug, don’t bounce redline, vary rpm, and throttle. I also prefer to do the first oil change quite early. If re torque of head bolts is recommended, do it.

@saddle8bag
@saddle8bag 6 лет назад
I agree. I've never done the cool down thing though. I just ride them like I ride. I don't lug engines and I don't keep the rev limiter pegged on the redline for long periods of time regardless of age. I do try and shift up and down a bit to vary revs if I'm on a long, straight road. That's my contribution to a bike's infancy. My guide for when a bike is broken in is when the gas mileage stops increasing. Usually, it's within a thousand miles or so, but my ZRX took over 3k miles before the MPG flattened out.

Firstly, let me come clean. I was in mind to fulfill a dream I have. That is, to one day go on a bike trip with my brother. Destination to be decided (Germany most likely). Problem is... I don’t have a licence yet. But here’s the kicker.. After watching quite a few FortNine videos.. I’ve had my desire to just simply go on a bike tour, turn into a desire to commute on a bike. I’m now more driven to get a licence (and bike), more than ever. FortNine made me excited to learn. They cover things like techniques to watch out for, to even waterproof jackets. What I appreciate is the type of content that FortNine covers. It’s not just “ooh let’s have a look at this bike, from manufacturer X”. I guess I’m just trying to thank you for the good work. One day (soon), I may enjoy the outdoors, on a motorbike as you quite obviously do. Thanks and keep up the good work.

Excellent video, but it still begs the question: Why buy a new motorcycle? Don’t get me wrong, over the years I’ve owned many bikes, four of them were purchased new. However, in these times when normally maintained bikes easily last for a couple of hundred thousand kilometers, ya gotta wonder. On top of that, four or five year old bikes, fully farkled (from FortNine of course) are amazing opportunities for economically feasible fun. No?

@sv650nyc7 6 лет назад
Exactly, the commonly held belief that a bike with more than 20,000 miles has a "lot of miles" is laughable. I would prefer a well-maintained bike with 50k over a barely ridden one with 20k in any case. Plus, 1st year models often have manufacturing issues that either have to be dealt with under warranty or at the owner's expense. Wait a few years and you have a more refined version.
@mickeypopa
@mickeypopa 6 лет назад
What a silly question. So how the fuck are you gonna buy a used bike if nobody buys new ones? How will manufacturers make money to invest into new things? Just because you can't afford new, doesn't mean nobody should buy them. Plus, I actually prefer a bike that I know was not abused or neglected or crashed a few times. If I have a choice between a $12.5k used bike or a $15k new one, you can bet your ass I'll get the new one, regardless of the miles on the clock.
@sergusster

And in addition to this, gotta say - there's a type of people (such as I'm) who'll never bother to get into technical stuff choosing and maintaining their bike. All I want to touch on my bike is a handlebar, and if something breaks, I'll just take it to the dealer and have it replaced by the warranty. I simply have no time, nor money, nor technical background to buy a proper used bike

@deyo8109 5 лет назад
Yeah, right. I did this once to a freshly rebuild (car) engine, thanks to all stupid comments like this in the internet. Actually it wasn't so simple : it was few runs to 3000rpms, than 4000, 5000 and 6000 with breaks for cool down between them. The result was a massive oil consumption and a new rebuild. Lesson learned, so for the second break-in I used the good a old method: twisty roads, no lugging, no more than 4000rpms, no full throttle... For about 2500-3000km. Worked perfect.
