Proper Engine break in is vital for engine reliability/durability & a strong performer!

Engine Break In
Step 1 - Fuel & Oil Mixture
Make sure to use a 32:1 mix ratio during the break in period. (one gallon of gas)

Step 2 - Location
During your break in, it is best to ride the bike on a track. If a track is not available than set up some pylons in a large parking lot.

Step 3 - First Session
Allows the pocket bike several minutes to warm up before you start this process. Once the engine has had a chance to warm up, take the bike for a ride allowing the engine to never rev more than 1/3 throttle (rpm vary in each engine). Ride not more than 10 minutes then turn the pocket bike off and allow the engine to cool.

Step 4 - Second Session
Again allow the engine a moment to warm up before you start the process. After warming, take the bike for a ride allowing the engine to never exceed more than 1/2 throttle (rpm vary in each engine). Ride no more than 10 min then turn the pocket bike off and allow the engine to again cool.

Step 5 - Third Session
Again allow the engine a moment to warm up. After warming, take the bike for a ride allowing the engine to never exceed more than 3/4 throttle (rpm vary in each engine). Ride no more than 10 minutes then turn the pocket bike off and allow the engine again to cool.

Step 6 - Final Session
Again, give the engine a moment to warm up. On this session it is important to take the pocket bike from stop to full throttle in a smooth and consistent acceleration allowing the engine to peek at maximum rpm and full throttle.

WARNING: Do not hold RPM at full throttle for long period of time until bike has been fully broken in.

Once you have peeked the engine at full throttle, let off the throttle and allow the bike to slow back down to stop. Repeat this process several times and ride no more than 10 minutes then again turn the pocket bike off and allow the engine to cool.

It is important that when you go through these sessions, the bike must ride faster and faster each session. This will help prevent the engine from having performance problems and help prolong the life duration and reliability.

Spark Plug

We recommend replacing the factory spark plug with a much better quality Spark Plug from NGK after you have run @ least 2 gallons of fuel through your engine.
During engine breaking the spark plug becomes fouled during the break in process.

Gas/Oil Mixture
We suggest that you use specific oils for pocket bikes in racing or leisure categories for best engine performance & engine durability & reliability!

See our Mixing chart on our Amsoil page.

       Break in - 100% Synthetic 32:1

       Racing - 100% Synthetic oil 100:1

       Leisure - 100% Synthetic 50:1to 80:1

We run 80:1 all the time!
