Just because the motor is new doesn't mean its not based off of an old system, that is even more complex...its still metal that expands when warmed up, and oil still doesn't fully protect a motor until warmed up also.

And yes, I sure did rev it past 4K, but I did it after my first oil change when most of the gunk was removed from the oil.
You should rev it high and drive it HARD in the first 20 miles for the best break-in (in my opinion).. Break In Secrets--How To Break In New Motorcycle and Car Engines For More Power
