I've just had fitted a pinasco 177cc kit with a simonini exhaust and reinforced clutch fitted on my 06 plate px125. All seems to be fine, but it does need to be run in for 600 miles............. My question is, should i trust the autolube with this engine or should i premix it myself just to be safe. Also if i decide to premix, what should the mix be, i know my et3 is 2%. The guy in the scooter shop said throw in 2 full measuring jugs to a full tank, does this sound right or a bit excessive. Any help is appreciated as always

I trust the auto-lube as a rule so I'd stick with that and maybe add a splash in the tank for the first few tanks. You're only bedding in the rings on a nikasil barrel so I'd say take things easy for your first tankful and then build towards your normal riding style over the next tankful and you'll be good to go.

I'd go with Juan's advice. As long as its not an old cast iron pinasco kit.
Nikasil really doesnt need running in anyway, just a while to bed in.
