Re: engine dry on brand new bike

Your probably right. Bad break-in and poorly seated rings.

I always break my new bikes in faster and harder than the manufacturers recommend and I have great running bikes with the horsepower at the upper range of the norm. My GeeZer uses absolutely no oil.

BTW, picked up a nail in the front tire this weekend and I may have ridden it for 30 or so miles (straight smooth road no stops) before I discovered it had gone flat!! Stopped at my first light and shit!!! Flat as a pancake. It took 3 pump ups to get her home.
