The break in period is your initial driving time before 1200 miles. It tells you in the manual not to exceed 4000 rpms and some other things.
I have exceeded 4000 rpms once Since I am paying for the car I take full responsibility for any consequences. I dont think there will be any. check your manual and decide what you want to do with the info.

Enjoy !

I went over 4000 rpm's a few times. I haven't had any problems out of my ride yet.
