Most people recommend about a 500 mile or so break in period, but those 500 miles need to be stop and go driving (as in you need to be engaging/disengaging the clutch consistently, not just driving down the free way). After that, I usually let it rip. I can't say that I've ever made it 500 miles without flooring it at least once or thirty times

My buddy Tommy finished up the install for me (he did most of it but I helped ). When I got to his shop, he wanted me to go ride with him driving to feel it. First thing he does it go WOT to like 90 haha. Anyway it has a few K on it now since the clutch change and still works fine, so I dunno
