I'm surrounded by hills in Berkeley so keeping an upper RPM limit of 4k is quite impractical. In fact, keeping it that low in my surroundings will seriously bog down the engine and cause more wear and tear.

So, I've been quite liberal with the RPM but make it a point to not redline or go beyond, say, 6.5k or 7k. Other than that I basically shift through all the gears to vary the RPM and call it a day.

We'll see in a few hundred miles how things go at the break-in service.
