Running in was created by Biggles

Hi guys,
just reading Makatosun’s excellent article on running in, but the first two paragraphs are missing.  Is this what’s needed for my re-honed/new ringed DT400?  It talks about full throttle…..I haven’t done much of that, assuming that, just like me, it’s bloody old and might protest!
thanks again.
ps just the carb to refit then a picture, promise.

Different approaches , but worthy of a read .

Not recommending but I'll be the baddy. I just go & use them as intended after a gentle run on the bench or around the paddock. Worry would be if bored too tight i guess.
