Re: [ST] Engine Break In



No problem. I wasn't trying to hit the limiter either :-) The ST had always
felt a bit flat above about 7000rpm then one day it just wound right out. It
was bouncing off the limiter before I knew what was happening. From then on
it would pull like a steam train around 7000-9000.
