Hey guys, do any of you have the original owner's manual for a Yamaha 250 OX66? I ask because I recently had one rebuilt (includes new pistons, bearings, rings, seals, gaskets, performance reeds and thermostats) and wanted to know the break-in sequence. Here is my understanding at this time:
1- Mix oil in with gas 50:1 to run in addition to the oil being mixed by the oil tank and pump
2- First 15 minutes at high idle
3- Next 45 minutes up to 1800 rpms changing speed every few minutes
4- Hour 2 up to 2400 rpms changing speed every few minutes
5- Hour 3 up to 3000 rpms changing speed every few minutes
6- Hour 4 through 12 up to 4000 rpms changing speeds every few minutes
7- After the 12th hour, speeds of all rpms can be used, re-torque the heads and change the plugs
My understanding with 2-strokes are that short bursts of WOT are required throughout the break-in sequence. Anyway, please let me know your thoughts.
