Yes.
Keep temperature near 200, under 200 you are not breaking-in the engine, over 205 you are heating it to much at this ppint of initial run.
2 stroking is the condition in which the engine sounds clean, like if you were running, but at break-in period it is kinda like still heavy, spitting some oil through the pipe. Once it is broken-in, and you have settled your HSN for full power you'll notice the difference.
Try getting on to Trinity's web page, and under tips there is an article about tuning your engine correctly writen by J.Cyrul. Hope it is still there. Or try getting some help at the track by some of the experts, it is kinda difficult to explain over here what is 4 stroking and 2 stroking.
