All way has and will be a contentious issue like I said  |
Wait a minute !!!
Mototune is talking about breaking-in a motobike engine WHICH IS NOT A DIESEL, neither is it a car engine with longer piston travels and generaly bigger bore diameters !!
Bikes run-in much shorter than any car and the diesel is still slower in running-in because of the rpm and longer piston travelling, I have run-in 9 new motobikes and actually now running-in my new civic 2,2 i-CTDI diesel just puchased last tusday !
