Per chi mastica un po di Inglese, questo è un articolo molto interessante sulla tecnica da adottare durante il rodaggio per ottenere il massimo dal motore:

In pratica consiglia di scaldare il quad e poi spingere forte sul gas, alternando accelerate e decelerate in freno motore. In questo modo la pressione all'interno del cilindro spingerà le fasce ad aderire correttamente alle pareti del cilindro stesso.

On the Street:
Warm the engine up completely:
FOR MANUAL SHIFT BIKE
The main thing is to load the engine by opening the throttle hard in 2nd, 3rd and 4th gear.
FOR CVT BIKE
Do Three 1/2 Throttle runs from
40% - 60% of your engine's max rpm
decelerate with engine break
Do Three 3/4 Throttle runs from
40% - 80% of your engine's max rpm
decelerate with engine break
Do Three Full Throttle runs from
30% - 100% of your engine's max rpm
decelerate with engine break
Realistically, you won't be able to do full throttle runs even in 2nd gear on most bikes without exceeding 65 mph / 104 kph.
The best method is to alternate between short bursts of hard acceleration and deceleration. You don't have to go over 65 mph / 104 kph to properly load the rings. Also, make sure that you're not being followed by another bike or car when you decelerate, most drivers won't expect that you'll suddenly slow down, and we don't want
anyone to get hit from behind !!
The biggest problem with breaking your engine in on the street (besides police) is if you ride the bike on the freeway (too little throttle = not enough pressure on the rings) or if you get stuck in slow city traffic. For the first 200 miles or so, get out into the country where you can vary the speed more
and run it through the gears !
Be Safe On The Street !
Watch your speed ! When you're not used to the handling of a new vehicle, you should accelerate only on the straightaways, then slow down extra early for the turns. Remember that both hard acceleration and hard engine braking (deceleration) are equally important during the break in process.
