I agree with alot of the guys here on breaking in motors. But everyone is forgetting one thing.....Cut open the darn filter. We cut open every filter on every motor. Tells you alot.

Update:
Cold start was a little rough this morning, no big deal really, just goes with the territory when tuning a new Beastie.

Going to get the new Magnuson HD Tensioner and RR Double Bearing Idlers put on this after lunch and then it's time to go burn some gas

I'll take an outside Video of a few things before I leave, stay tuned!
