I've got a yam 25/4. Dealer advised 10 hours running in.

Lots of going up/down the rev range, no steady full throttle running.

I just went sight-seeing in my local river for a couple of days !!

Just remember though that you won't get accurate usage results until after the initial 50 hours. The motor will have loosend right up by then.

Thanks Walrus. Went for a cruise up the brissy river and put a couple of hours on it. Amazed at the moserly fuel consumption. :o :o
Should get better as Flat-Chat said, once it loosens up - happy days. ;D ;D
If you see a 455 Hornet on the water, maroon stripes and worded "Jack Lives Here Too", make sure you say gidday.
