Dommie Run-In: Do's & Dont & Carb explosion?
Hi Everybody!
Just had new piston sleeves, so run-in is a must right?
What are the do's & dont?
not to revv too high.... right? What I do is not exceeding 3500 RPM. Keep doing this for the next 1000KMS?
Then oil change & off you go right.....?
Its really hard to control the RPM after being "push" at the traffic light by other smaller bikes!  & this 1000kms seems to be taking forever cause my work place is only 12kms from home & I usually goes to places from work using the co's pick-up truck. Any other way of run-in it in quicker?
And not ruin it!!
Carb explodes!
I've notice that during cold start, I have to use the choke, this normal for Dommie, right? (this what I've been practising for my Dommie) Anyway, It often suddenly dies, just after a slight explosion (POPPED) sometimes more than once, (POP-POP-POP) quite loud, making head-turns!  which sounds from the carb & theres a smokey smells! But after the engine is warm enough it doesnt die, (what I do is start leaving the scene while the choke is still being pulled) When its warm enough its okay, but sometimes the explosion still occur!! Anyone familiar with this situation?
