That is not heat cycling, that is break-in.

You should always heat cycle an air cooled 2 stroke.

Which part in the picture holds the left (rear) brake control to the handle bar... my problem is it wont stay in the brake holder so when i start it up i have to manualy hold it which can get annoying while tuning. thanks!
