Wow - such juicy topics for the morning! On all the stroke engines I have owned over the years, I never monkeyed with the mix for break-in and after break-in. Indeed these bike engines look pretty crude and I suppose the extra oil is to help carry away the high/rough areas (asperites) as they wear away. BUT here are my controversial comment:
1) I am a fairly strong believer in not babying an engine for break in. I think too much easy engine action, early, delays break-in and may even glaze the cylinder.
2) Too much oil, may not hurt anything (except make it run fuel lean), but a cheap oil may gum the rings up a bit, too.
I will run mine a bit oil rich for the first tank or two, and yeah I'll go a bit slow as I learn it and proof test the bike and engine. But after a bit I'll be going hard! I can be your guinea pig!!
