since i've hit 500 miles i've been pretty much observing the 4k limit, but will occasionally let it go up to 4500 rpm, and as i increase in milage i will be slowly increasing my rpm limit. i'm at 700 miles now and i will sometimes let it get up to 5k rpm at partial throttle. i'm still staying below 4k for the most part, but i'm occasionsly letting the engine reach higher revs. a gradual build up to redline and adding more throttle slowly seems like it would be better for it than babying it and then all of the sudden flogging it at 1000 miles.

thoughts on this?
lots of us ended up doing exactly this
