Proper break in procedure for Yamaha 250 SHO - 01/22/20 04:45 PM
For a new Yamaha 250 SHO, what is the true/proper break in? I am asking because after reading many different articles and posts online, it seems there isn't anything definitive. Quite a few people that have owned multiple Yamaha 250 SHO's have said that if you break it in per the Yamaha procedure you actually will "make" oil. I see where some say it is a 4 hour break in, while others say 2 hours. Some say run it like you stole it from the start and some say to push water for a while, all are geared towards properly seating the rings.
Below is a post I found where many agreed this is correct, but I wanted to get further opinions from those on here who have had success and no issues with their motor after break in.
