Bah- RPM, not MPH is what matters. Don't lug it, and don't maintain
constant RPM. For the first 50-100 miles keep it between say, 1000 and 3500
RPM, vary it, and increase the top limit gradually 4000... 4500,,, 5000,,,
5500 (more, if it's setup for it.) as the miles increase.
(we really could use a FAQ- all this stuff is in the archives on Triumph
somewhere...)
