Hello all,just a quick question.I`m about to order some new piston rings,once up and running again do i need to run them in for as long as if it was a new kit?
Li150 mugello 186,sh2/22, 42mm AF clubman.
Ran in original kit 3000mls ago for approx 400mls.
Cheers ove.

I recon a max of 100 miles myself for just new rings.
With my Muggy I ran the whole kit in for 250 miles (fairly quick as well!!)

I've just had new rings in my RB 22 fitted by AF at last service,only done about 1700 miles from new(also needed new reed petals)and was told to run them in for 25 miles as long as I didn't go 2 up or cane it up hills(as if I would!!!)

Phew cheers for the replies fellas,I thought I might be in for a couple of hundred boring miles running them in.I`ll take it steady for the 1st few miles 25-100, then the ride her as she should be!!
