Break in period

[flynrider]

I was just curious. I am by no means trying to start an oil thread. As a commercial plot and aircraft mechanic I have learned a thing or two about the break in for overhauled and new aircraft engines but don't really know much about motorcycles. Aircraft engines are a bit different....in a lot of cases more simple and the whole oil subject is more simple as well. Thanks for easing my small worries.

Funny you should mention that. I posted about the differences in air-cooled aircraft engine break-in on anther thread. I just got done breaking in a new jug on my O-360. Wouldn't want to break-in the CB1100 that way.

I think the big differences are that our new bike engines are built to much closer tolerances, with engine and metalurgical technology from this century
