She arrived in the mail today..

Thank you very much! Time to break her in and have some fun.

It might take a couple of days for videos because I really take my time with break-in. After that, I'll post up.

Its going to take about a gallon of fuel before that thing wakes up to full potential. So take your time and get it good and loosened up before leaning down for a performance tune. Hope you enjoy it!

McCoy 59 for break in, then after break in use McCoy 8.
Either the Racers Edge or Dynamite McCoy's is the plug for you

Sounds good.

I was using O.S. 8 in my other Picco with good results but I will give the McCoys a try.

Thanks

At this point of your 3rd tank. I turned my LSN 1/2 turn in from stock and 3/4 - 1 full turn in on the HSN put it on the ground and drove it moderately for the next 1/4 gallon. Each tank thereafter the 1/2 gallon mark I leaned my HSN 1/8 of a turn in till the gallon mark. This is how I did my 3 Piccos. Have fun and those are just my recommendations as you should know even at the 1 gallon mark the engine will be still tight. I took me a 1 1/4gallons for the Piccos to be fully broken in

just a quick observation, grab a breathable air cleaner, not sure if ur going in mud/water etc, but, that motor will be better suited with a motorsaver style air filter, that machine is going to need to breath!!! i have ab ab modded 30x in my lst2 , so i know the work adam does, wich is top notch,your going to enjoy it!!!

Thanks for the tips guys.. I have a filter for it. I didn't want to destroy it on the break-in.

It's in a sealed bag nice and oiled. I will also grab one of those filters that you posted..

Thanks..

And my Picco on my D8 took about 1- 1/2 gallons before the nuts dropped..

That air filter looks like a European INS-Box assembly. It's used for noise reduction. I wonder how did such a model ended up on your machine.
