I believe the idea is to run through the RPM range during the break in period, not to "not maintain" a specific RPM. As well, cruise control maintains speed, not RPM. RPM can vary quite a bit at the same speed, depending on the terrain. I've had the pleasure to "break in" a few motorcycles and cars over the years (and some were driven quite hard), and have never had any issues. |
