Center oil line came off the engine, full dealer rebuild.

Question is, do I leave my clutch kit on our swap back to factory for break in?

I have two thoughts
1- Everyone says run it hard during break in. The clutch kit will keep the rpms up better.
2- Does it need more babying during break in (factory clutch are up).

Thanks for any advice here. Excited to get back out on the sled either way.

This was the known 2019 850 issue where sealant plugs the center check valve on the oil feed for the water pump/center bearing. Full rebuild, only thing re used was my case halves.

Warm it up good.
Run it.

Vary rpm for the first tank.

Load = ring seal.

No load = glaze
