Well finally I have reached 7k miles! I'm so happy, anyways a few days ago before I reached 7k miles the engine felt very rough and shaked the entire motorcycle very badly but when I reached 7k+ miles a while ago I left the motorcycle overnight after riding for 2 to 3 hours then the next morning when I started riding the engine felt very light and also before this happened I couldn't even reach 65 mph in 5th gear at full throttle but now wow i am impressed because the the engine feels lighter, less vibration and now when I shift to 5th gear the motorcycle feels light and even starts overspeeding when driving on I-10 when last time before this happened it couldnt even reach 65mph and was slowing down on I-10. does this mean my engine has completed its break-in? or does it mean my engine went bad somewhere? Motorcycle: DF250rtc Engine: CG250 5 speed manual Also I have slow take offs when on a red light but after a few seconds of taking off I start gaining speed, is there a way to increase my take off? 17t/46t sprockets I also did 30% marvel mystery oil 20% Rislone Compression repair and ring sealer oil and 50% 10-w40 Mobil 1 Racing 4T oil I have been running like this for a few days. Could this be the reason why the engine started feeling lighter and gaining more speed?

Yeah, your compression probably tanked and that's why it was running so poorly. The stuff you poured in there is a "viscosity enhancer" and will plug leaks past the rings....temporarily. The lubricant will soon thin out and your compression (lack of) problems will return. The down side to the enhancer is oil that has an abnormally high viscosity does not lubricate as well as a 10W-40. There is always a payback. Rich

so I will probably need to replace rings soon right? anyways I want to know what everyone else thinks too. when I replaced the clutch I turned the piston and I heard a hissing sounds inside on compression stroke when turning the engine so probably rings right? your avatar Bashan
