How To Ride a New Bike for It's First 1000 kms | Break-in/Running-in Procedure

[@yessure5291]

Hello from Canada - I have been riding various motorcycles for 42 years - I was a marine mechanic and a Honda dealer. Your video is very good. Just one thing -- wear some solid protection gloves, your hands are the first things to reach out to the road if you go over.

[@AjithBuddyEnglish]

Thanks for the care and advice brother 😍 Sure I will 👍🏻

[@yessure5291]

@@AjithBuddyEnglish I have instructed at 2 motorcycle safety schools in Canada. The first thing to teach a new or non rider is how to stop a motorcycle before starting the engine. I have that lesson written if you would like a copy of it. And I have part 2 = the emergency braking lesson.

This is a remarkable video with superb explanation and suggestions for anybody looking to improve engine health and life. Thank you brother, it was amazing and very clear. My doubt is whether this applies to CVT engines like scooters also, because for my new scooter, I have been following most of the steps that you have recommended but since i have to ride on highway a lot, i am not able to vary the engine speed/rpm too much. but i have been strictly keeping it below 50kmph. it has been 850km. Please advise brother, i hope riding for 40-45 kmph for 80-90% of the time wont damage the engine??

[@kumarayush7292]

Good technical explanation. Will keep in mind while riding a new bike.

[@mystery4841]

Which engine grade to use of 10w30? Mineral, semi or full synthetic?

[@AjithBuddyEnglish]

If it's a modern bike then fully synthetic is better

[@alJabirr]

[@AjithBuddyEnglish]

Yes, now most companies use fully synthetic whether it's break-in or not

every single cylinder motorcycle i have broken in doesnt burn any oil and doesnt have problems at all. How? i kept the throttle to like half to 3/4 and always change the rpms when cruising. as he said in the video. and if there was uphill i used to drop a gear and slow down a little bit so the engines rpm werent too low for the uphill

[@padalaamarchandrareddy8335]

Hornet vs Apache 160 4v vs Fzs v3 vs Gixxer. Which is best to buy. My priorities are a) mileage of 45km b) Can you tell me, of the above options which is best in quality and can be used without any issues more than 5 years. c) Availability of spares and cost of maintenance. In the market, there is lot of confusion arises in bike enquiries. Some people are saying that the above bike engines are working properly for 1-2 years only and some regarding non availability of spares for above bikes. Could you please suggest me a correct bike according to my priorities.

[@AjithBuddyEnglish]

All four of them are excellent bikes in the category. Hornet, 160 4v and gixxer are better in power and mileage. Spares availability depends on your region. All these bikes' engines will easily last more than 5 years for sure. Take a test ride of all and decide

Can I take my new bike to hill station before 1st service-R15v4 bike

[@tommlavil]

Ajith, great information in clear and detailed manner. One doubt. In the new Jawa(6 gears and no tachometer), should we ride on all the gears occassionally without over revving. That would surely cross the recommended speed limit. Also, read somewhere that it is a good idea to change the oil after 500 kms. Then again at the first service. What is your advice?

[@AjithBuddyEnglish]

Yes, you should use all gears and can occasionally go above the speed limit for that. I think that's an unnecessary oil change when first service is 250-500km away. Thank you Tom 😍

Hello, I just bought r15 v4 a week ago, but unfortunately I went almost 300 km with a pillion on it. I also drove it continuously at 70-75 kmph speed. Now I think my bike is producing more noise. Does it mean that I have damaged my engine??? Plz answer

[@rko951]

Bro it's fine. Just change the engine oil and filter for now, you can buy the oil and filter and get it changed at a local mechanic. R15 engines are reliable and high revving. And then give the bike for its first service again after 1k or 1 month to the service centre.

Basically keep varying the rpm and don't go at a constant speed for more than 10 minutes.

Also it has been 3 days I got the bike and rode only 130kms. I'm really concerned about the engine life. Need your help here. I can sense a kind of noise when it's slowed down in traffic. The engine also heats up very often. I travel 24kms up and down every day.

[@AjithBuddyEnglish]

New engines heats up, that's common. What kind of sound are you hearing? May be it's the tappet noise.. Anyway don't worry much as most issues be solved itself when it run more kms. You just take care of the engine and wait until first service. And tell the issues to the service center. They'll rectify it. Happy riding 👍🏻
