not above 4k....

do at least 1500 mile break in.

change oil at 200,500,1500 then regular oil changes every 3000 miles....

never had a rebuild before but this is about what i have read. lots of people have different opinions on how long the break in should be and how many time to change the oil but this is about what it should be....

Just don't put it out on the hiway and set the cruise control. The rpms need to vary during the break in.
