hello again im totaly confused Question

honda state in the manual (NSR125) that u shouldn't pass 5,000rpm for the first 600 miles yet my dealer said the engine should be run in by around 500 miles
peeps are saying that after 300 miles i can go up to 6k rpm and then 1,000 rpm every 100 miles Shocked

what do i do Question

i've kept it @ 5K i've done 350 miles now n pushed it to 6k for a min just to see what speed i got but i dunno what to do now

PLEASE HELP Wink

There's no need to take the numbers too literally mate...most "experts" actually say that the running process actually does more harm than good, but that's probably more for bigger bikes than the NSR...

...if you're happy with 5/6k, then stay at it for a little while longer...otherwise, don't get too worried if the needle strays a little now and again!
