just done 600 miles and my right foot is getting heavier every day!! trying to hold on till 1000 miles, hard though!

if now one answers this then it will be in the hand book ;)

For the first 1,000 miles do not exceed 3,000rpm, but make sure you reach 3,000rpm regularly. For the next 1,000 miles (to 2,000 miles) do not exceed 3,500rpm, but make sure you reach 3,500rpm regularly. For the next 1,000 miles (to 3,000 miles) do not exceed 4,000rpm, but make sure you reach 4,000rpm regularly. For the next 1,000 miles (to 4,000 miles) do not exceed 4,500rpm, but make sure you reach 4,500rpm at least a couple of times a week. After that, no limit, but make sure you continue to hit 4,500rpm through the gears several times a week. The benefit of this is it helps to self clean the injectors, it blows any accumulated soot out of the exhaust system and it helps to free off the piston rings, making the engine more efficient and less likely to use engine oil.

Once mine was above 1.5k miles I have opened it up, I generally take it easy on the way to work, and muller it on the way back :)

1000 miles for me....goes greeeeeeeeat

dont think i can wait till 4000 miles! one will do!!

I'm at 1400 miles, and it's plenty fast enough for me without having to go over 3500rpm, :thumbup: as all that torque is so readily available without having to cane it.

Couldn't have put it better myself

If you guys think its good now wait until its got 12k+ miles on it ;)

Wait till it's got 20K+ miles on it ;)
