Maybe it is not too late after 25K miles of that abuse?
How specifically rpms' damage these engines? Did they say? |
Haha, no the guy didn't specify. I guess he meant it puts a lot of load on the engine by running it close to its limit at 10k+ rpm.
My logic is that I don't take my car past 4k rpm. And while a bike engine is different from a car engine, it's still an engine.
Then again, the shop that I went to had lots of cruisers and Harley-type bikes. Maybe those bikes are driven differently?
