philr62 Posted September 5, 2014 Author Share Posted September 5, 2014 Just give it some beans, that's what it's designed for after all. I've never had a brand spanker before is there any need to run in? Do i need to put a "running in please pass" sticker on the back? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philf1 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 I never did, dealer told me everything is good to go, just don't red line it for a few hundred miles it will be fine. Others on here will tell you to run it in but others will tell you the engine is stronger if it's driven hard. I've never had any problems with mine and after all they teat the engines before leaving the factory nowadays it's not like back in the day anymore.

Philf1 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 What does "too fast" mean Seriously I think as long as you don't red line it you should be fine, you've got to stick to speed limits anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whereabouts are you? im in H/Heath. I was in there earlier and they said another blue one had gone out, i don't have an issue with their service or parts dept their sales I do though. I can recommend them for any Mountune parts though although not the cheapest,they are on your doorstep. I'm in the station end of town from your pictures looks a bit like F/V. Will probably see you around along with the other 4\5 blue ones that I see. Mines got yellow ST badges and grey Mountune stripes in case you see it about, give a flash/wave. If you need any help with it give me a shout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do i need to put a "running in please pass" sticker on the back? :) Lol even if you did need to allow people to pass on the motorway, it's only doing 2,750 rpm at 70 in 6th, so even when some people say keep it under 3000 rpm for a while that wouldn't be a problem :).
