Instructions usually tell ya,,that came with the gears,,but most need a couple or 3 ,of heat cycles (20 to 30minute rides ) and a cool down of at least 30 minutes(inbetween)......Alot of people stated "be easy on them for at least 500 miles..." ..I've installed more gear sets them I can remember and have had no problems if you heat cycle them right.... and then run the **** out of them afterwards.then again,,I have a pinion depth guage setup and back lash tool also. and set them up right...no guessing..

3 heat cycles, 20 mins cool down each time & they will be ready to take a beating!
