ok, that was harsh, i've just been wanting to use that smiley and you left the door wide open... i'm just kidding, but seriously you should read the manual so you know how to take care of it.
take it easy and vary the driving speeds until 300 miles, with occasional 4th & 5th gear wot (wide open throttle) runs (NOT in the lower gears!).

Reading the manual is a MUST! There's lots of info in there like what type of oil to use, shifting points, etc. It's not a book you want to ignore....
