new to quad stunting

Picking up my KFX400 on mon.

How should i break this engine in? should i run my oil about a half quart over like my street bike? What do I need to do to keep my engine alive? and is gearing even needed?

Re: new to quad stunting

Yeah. What tiller said.
But after that I'd do the extra oil thing. 1/2 a quart is about right. Make wheelies.

is that just for the break in period or is that when stunting? i know they say the 400ex's can get starved on long wheelies, should i be running extra oil? thanks.
