Default Monster stage 3 break in question

This 500 mile $hit is killing me...

What will happen if I dont do the full 500 mile break in?? I have 120 miles on it now and this driving like a girl scout is getting old quick..


But at the same time I dont want to ruin a brand new clutch...


So what would happen if I started to drive it hard after 200 miles???


Thanks

Ill let steve from Monster chime in but honestly I think it would cause you excessive chatter that might not go away, Not fully sure on that.

You need to do the proper break in if you want the clutch to perform to it's fullest. The 500 miles will go quickly....

Remember...heat cycles are the important factor really, inside that "500 mile" magic # u should have plenty. This is why they say city driving not highway miles. My car dosen't see 1k miles a year...it will this 3yr....working on clutch #3.

I guess I will take it easy. Like someone else said I only drive the car a couple thousand miles each year so 500 is ALOT...
