Pocket Bikes Info is a resource site that will give you the necessary information you need to purchase your very own pocket bike. They teach you what you need in order to be safe while driving them and the different models including the X7 Bullet.
When you first receive your brand new pocket bike you will want to take it out on the track and see what it can handle. But before you do any racing or tricks with it you first need to break it in. With every new pocket bike comes a brand new engine that is not going to be used to the speed and power that you will use it for. That is why you will break it in. There are two techniques that you can use.
Heat Cycling
In the process of heat cycling you will run your pocket bike engine right above idle for five to ten minutes. Once the time is up you will notice that the engine will be below the normal operating temperature. You will then need to shut it off and allow it to cool down.
After it is finished cooling off turn the engine back on to idle for another ten minutes before shutting it off once more. Again you will need to wait for it to cool down. Repeat this process a total of four times.
After the fourth time you can ride your bike at a slow pace until you run out of gas. Do not rev the engine or drive it at high speeds during this part of the process because it will put too much stress on your engine. Once you are out of gas you can fill her back up and you will be good to race and perform those crazy tricks you love.
Racing Break In
The racing break in method is not used very often by many people. You will start off the breaking in process by warming up the engine of your pocket bike for five minutes at idle. After the time is up bring the throttle up to where the clutch can engage. This will keep you from being thrown off the bike if and when you apply too much throttle when driving it.
Now you will be able to take the bike onto the track - but only as a test run. During the first lap take it slow. In fact take it a slow crawl. This will also help to break in the tires as well as the engine.
In the second lap you can put more pressure on the gas. Continue to ride at this easy pace for fifteen minutes. Don’t ride the bike too hard - but also make sure that you do not ride it at too slow of a pace.
If you do nothing to break in your bike then you will find yourself without one for a long time. The reason the breaking in processes are important is because they help to make sure that your engine and other pocket bike parts will not break down within the first week or month you have it. Replacing pocket bike parts is not always inexpensive so take good care of it.
