	I read somewhere that there is a break in chip that doesn't let the sled go full out for a couple hundred miles. Is this true? 2008 Arctic cat M8 153''Stock >current 1996 Arctic cat Wildcat 700 136x2x15 challenger finger track, 3'' riser, Powermadd mountain bar.sold 1980 Arctic cat Jag 3000. sold Dad's 2003 Arctic Cat Mountain cat 800 144''. 1999 Arctic Cat Powder Special 500. sold 2000 Polaris Indy 550 Trail.

Nothing wrong with running high RPM's ( for what is called for on the machine anyways) as long as you dont hold it wide open for a long time. On hard, then off again with short periods of being hard on it helps to seat the rings and break it in. Rating: 0 Quick Edit Full Edit
