So, here's my confusion. I just got my new bike. The tank sticker says 3,500 rpm limit for 300 miles.

The dealer says 1/3 throttle for 100 miles, up to 1/2 throttle thereafter - no redlining but do not worry unduly about the absolure rpm.

The owner's manual says: for the first 500 miles, do NOT operate at full throttle and do NOT go over 3/4 of maximum speed.

The tanksticker and the owner's manual seem to be at odds with each other, if you ask me.

I'm sure that all the options above will lap the engine in acceptably well but I tend to overly worry about these things, wondering what is EXACTLY the BEST option.

Any opinions??

Thanks - BB
