After that, may shift to synthetic. Run all the gears throught full rpm range and let the engine break on its on. That will ensure that all the aluminium particulates are weaned off the cyl walls.
Indian cyl walls are iron
not aluminium...Al comes off quickly, not iron. thats why longer run in periods. My 5 speed has run 3000KMs and i can still see honing marks. hope that explains

India = Hot, No watercooling. Its fine if you do it on subzero land where engine overheating is never an issue.
