    Best way to break in a totally rebuilt motor

    What is thebest way to break in a totally rebuilt motor. My motor was redone and Im not sure how long and how to break it in properly. It has about 8 miles on it. I want to go trail riding soon and its not unusual for me to put in 100 miles here in CNY. When can I go hit the trails.

    If you have 8 miles on it, it's already broke in. Go have fun.
