Break-in period

[89shoyamaha]

I wanted to know the average break-in period for a new clutch?

500 miles of easy driving.

A lot of easy stop and go traffic is a good way to break in a new clutch.

my break in period= first trip to the dyno, then 5K dumps at the strip on slicks lol....no chatter here, smooth pedal and easy shifts :beer:

Spec 3 here broke it in for 200-300 miles and then I just couldn't hold back so I let I got on it a few times (no track time, dumps or anything of that nature mostly just 2-4 gear pulls on the highway).

Oh but its "suppose" to be 500 miles.

What J Rock said. Also highway miles do not count but when i reached 470 miles of city driving i couldn' resist the urge & had to do a quick blast in 2nd & 3rd gear. I figured 470 miles was close enough..lol
