Re: [ST] Redline - engine best practices



"Are short redline bursts beneficial for the triple, or make no
difference?"

I can't imagine that being beneficial to any engine.  Properly designed 
engines will not be harmed by trips to the redline after they're 
thouroughly warmed-up, though.

Still, the bearings and cylinder walls have just so many cycles of life 
in them and higher RPM accumulates cycles faster.  Is the wear, after 
warm-up, significant enough for you to see a definite loss of life?  I 
doubt it.
