Yamaha 115 break in

[ralphie]

You will say it after you read this, so I will, yes I am an idiot and need some advice. I am in the early stages of the break in of a new 2002 Yammy 115 2 stroke. During the first hours, I spaced out and pushed the RPMS up to close to 5000 for no more then a few minutes (less then 8 minutes total). Do I have a problem?. Engine ran fine, seems to be running fine. All seems normal. Should I look for signs. IS there anything I can do other then the obvious to be more diligent? Thanx, I am an new member and look forward to reading your forum

Ahoy, Ralphie.<br /><br />What does your Owners Manual say about it? I'm sure it doesn't say anything about a "few" hours.<br /><br />Most break in instructions allow short periods of full throttle after 2 or 3 hours at reduced rpm.<br /><br />I doubt that you have done any harm, but your engine will last longer if you follow Yammy's instructions exactly from here on out.<br /><br />Good luck

May want to see if manual tells you to add additional oil to fuel for break in period

ralphie,<br /><br />Depends on what you mean by "after a few hours".<br /><br />My Suzuki DT-140's manual said-paraphrasing, "don't even think about WOT until it's run at least two hours".<br /><br />I think you are fine. We're all assuming you double oiled it.
