Hello, Here is the way I did mine. I have a TaoTao Quantum 150cc. Over on youtube is a very nice guy named Kachi's Kid. He suggested this which I followed. For me when I got my Scooter branded new in a crate and assembled it. I drained the oil from the engine crank case and refilled it with this oil . which in my opinion is good. It is a Conventional type I got off Walmarts website. - Valvoline 4-Stroke Motorcycle SAE 10W-40 Conventional Motor Oil 1 QT and I put good gear oil in the rear end. Can't think of the weight of it right now. Then I just took it easy on my speeds on the road 30-40 mph max for the first 300 miles. The following month I did another oil Change and changed out the spark plug and went with a NGK Irridian spark plug for that.. of the proper type for the scooter. That is how I did my breakin. My Scooter has 340 miles on it now.

Opinions on break vary widely. Some people say ride it like you stole and others follow Wontonscoot's method. Personally I follow Wontonscoot's philosophy. Right now I'm keeping my 170cc GY6 under 40 mph and running it in gently. I'll run it harder later on but for the most part don't flog my machines like rented mules. The dealer advertises 62+ depending on weight and road conditions. I'll make 55 mph the max once broken in.
My last 150cc was broken in gently and I would max it at 47 mph. It lasted 10,000 miles before I sold it.
