Upgrading your 150cc scooter engine to a 180cc big bore engine:
Some scooter riders think that adding a big bore kit into one of these 150cc scooter engine is a piece of cake. NO, it takes a little mechanic knowledge (and common sense) and more maintenance. Not to mention a really good break in period.
Scooter Big Bore break-in period:
Break period is crucial when upgrading your scooter engine parts. Weather you have changed or replaced some OEM factory engine parts or have upgraded your engine to a big bore engine, you definitely have to break in that engine. "THAT IS A MUST" if you want your engine to last. I recommend at least a 400-500 miles break in period before you start to try slapping that throttle to it's fullest. That's a fact jack!!!! Some say 250-300 miles...naaa not enough. You have just replaced new engine parts in your engine and you need to give time for those to fall into place (ware and tear). The oiling system addresses the need to properly lubricate an engine when it’s running. Properly lubricating an engine not only reduces friction between moving parts but is also the main method by which heat is removed from pistons, bearings, and shafts. Failing to properly lubricate an engine will result in engine failure.
