Classickid21 Posted December 15, 2016 Posted December 15, 2016 Hi as you all know i got the r125 running i used liquid moly breaking/running in oil, the bottle for instructions are in german, so does anyone know when to change the oil? 100 miles in of the rebuild then swap to 10w40 yamalube or the full 600 miles? Also at 600 miles do i need to retorque the head back down ? Spoken to a couple of people they have all said different things? Quote
Guest Posted December 15, 2016 Posted December 15, 2016 You only changed the top end didn't you? Running in oil is for a freshly remachined engine. Standard oil would have been suffice.Change it at 100 and do away with 600 mile change Quote
Chrissb6 Posted December 15, 2016 Posted December 15, 2016 Never done or used any, once a motor is built up there's no need to re torque up bolts, torque up to the correct value first time job done. As for the oil, unless it a complete rebuild with new components - crank, barrels pistons then there's really no need to run in, just let in warm up and gradually build up the power keep checking that every thing's in order. Drop the oil after 500 miles if it's had a complete rebuild as first mentioned but really l don't think there's any need to be using special oil additives with todays oil's and machining tolerances.
