What was replaced? Gear? Bearings? If you just had the bearigns replaced then really there is not break in. If a new gear was installed then drive it around town for 5-10 miles under 55mph and let it cool completely, do that 2-3 times then put an easy 100-150 miles on it.

Ah, I see then you would want to drive it easy for 5-10 miles then let it cool. Drive it again just like before and then maybe drive it to work a few times to put on some good easy road miles.

The Speed shop instructed me to drive not more than 60 mph; or 60 miles in any one trip; allow to cool at least one hour between drives and no power snatches or revs above 3000 rpm for a full tank of gas.
Just wanted to get confirmation of this. They seem to have a bit of overkill in the break in. But it is for the better.
Thanks.
