500 miles is break-ins. But after 500, dont beat the living dog **** out of it. Be easy still. I really didnt feel all of my clutch till 1000. Well thats just me tho...

it doesnt really matter about rpm just that you go easy on the engagement of the clutch. granted though... it is a lot easier on the clutch in the lower ranges. so i would just drive "normal" or basically shift low and hang with al the old folks on the road... lol

Wait 500 miles before getting too much above 4K, I wouldn't recommend getting into VTEC during this time.. Then, on your way to 1000 miles, work it out a little, have some fun, just don't do any VTEC launches or anything..

Right now I launch around 3,500 RPM. Now with this new clutch can I launch a little higher without getting alot of wheel spin??
