Ok, how many miles do I need to put on to feel confident I am out of the woods on my rebuild? Put on almost 50 last night and aside from some secondary/belt height issues, nothing seemed wrong. The plugs looked ok this morning. Too tired to look last night.
On a 2 stroke, i always rode it just like I did before I took it apart. Never worried about it. Maxdlx
That makes me feel better. The motor has been started, idled, reved up, run on a stand, etc all before going out. The motor did seem strong. This was my first 2-stroke rebuild so it was a learning experience. (Especially with alot of help from here Daman included.) There was nothing in particular that I was uncomfortable doing, it was just a first is all. I figured that if it ran 50 it should be ok. Granted that doesn't mean I won't have a oil pump fail or crank bearing seize or something else catastrophic, but those would not be rebuilt related and would have happened anyway.

I agree with maxdlx, but i like to limit long WOT pulls..
I didn't really have too many places to get on it that hard. Don't get me wrong, I didn't baby it exactly, but there were no lake runs.

Sounds like you got 'er under control dnale... 
Just vary engine speeds without sustained WOT, which is usually not too difficult on a sled.

I did a couple good pulls from a rolling start after about 10 kms on my fresh top-end srx7. I figured the first time it hits 8500 RPM, if it's not right-you'll know.
First time I ever did a top-end too. I used dino oil for the first ten kms(didn't have the sythetic here yet) and switched it to amsoil interceptor.
After 50 miles, I'd say you are good to go.

I used up the rest of the yamalube I had up in the garage. I have a full other gallon but I'm giving that to my uncle-in-law. I'm going to try klotz once this tank is out. I don't think I'll hit 8500, of course if I did, I'm sure something would go. You tripples rev a little higher than my lil' 600 twin.

Actually I'm over-revvin right now at 8500.
I should be at around 8200-8300. Have heard good things about Klotz.

Daman does tend to know his stuff.
I used amsoil last year and it was noticeble the difference in smoke. It wasn't near as bad or as burning. Of course when you're the 5th sled in line, I don't really benefit from it much. I'll see if I don't smell quite as bad when I use the Klotz. It seemed like both Klotz and Amsoil really jumped in price since last year. I could have sworn they were both mid $20's but not this year...
