Talon Break in period

[bigblueaz]

I know the initial service is due at 20 hours or 100 miles whichever comes first.

I cannot find any info on how it should be driven during the “break in” period. The mechanic from Honda just said “don’t drive it like you stole it”

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Its in the manual, but not much to it. 15 miles moderate driving, fluctuating speed and throttle.

Ok thank you. I looked for it in the manual. Obviously missed it.

Next weekend is break in time

Full on drive it like you stole it to seat those rings. Run it up and down the rpm range for sure.

I let mine warm up good before moving it, I ran it down the road about 2 miles and then ran the s*** out of it for a while. After a good run I let it sit overnight to get good and cold. I continued this every day for the first hundred miles. Going to service it this weekend and not look back. Mine continues to run better with time.

Got it to 100 miles last weekend. Changed all fluids and filters. Ready to go

How about check the valve clearance? It is on the 100 mile list too

No I haven’t. Does anyone know how hard this is? Looked at a pioneer video. Need a tool to swap shim. Obviously would not expect wear after 100 miles.
