The Possum is a marsupial, the ugly North American cousin of the kangaroo. We have them up here in Southern Ontario. They are not an indigenous species, apparently they hopped onto freight trains down south and jumped off when they arrived. They've adapted to winter and made their homes here.

ask me how i got here
Whoa, I might be nocturnal, resourceful, and have low dietary standards... But I'm not a possum guys.
That's a freaky possum for real. When do I get to see you gents riding this bike? Planning on any meet ups or do you avoid that for his sake? >

We are about to break our engine in and was wondering if we should run a little rich or go ahead and dial her in. We are gonna follow Sonreirs advice from another post.
"My advice is progressive loading over the course of the first 20 miles or so. Let it idle to warm up and dial in the timing, sync the carbs, set air/fuel screws, and adjust the idle speed. Bike should be warmed up and ready for the first ride.
Take it up and down the street a few times, keeping it in first and second. Try to stay off the brakes and let the engine do the braking for you. Keep the revs at or below 4000 rpm, but never steady.
Then find a country road with very little traffic and start the break in. A full throttle run through the first few gears, but short shift it about half-way through the rev range. After you hit your artificial redline, coast down to 3000 rpm, then downshift through the gears until you come to a stop (or near stop without killing the bike). Repeat again and again, adding 1000 revs to your redline each time, and 500 to your downshift point. Continue until you reach about 1000 revs short of the bike's redline. This will often be five or six total runs.
During this process, be very sure not to lug the bike. Better to rev a bit high than to do something like shifting into 5th when you're only going 20 mph."

Sonrier has good advice, the reason being when you cut the throttle and allow engine braking instead of using brakes, it causes the oil in the motor to be pulled up onto the rings and cyliders and lubes everything while it beds in, cleans everything etc. Once you have done this change out the oil and cut into the filter to see if there is excessive metal etc. will indicate if anything is amiss in the engine.
