Tires supposedly need 100 miles before you want to start scraping the pegs. They tell you not to keep the bike at a steady RPM for a long periods of time during the first several hundred miles. I varied speed and shifted between 4th and 5th pretty often.
I kept mine below 4500 rpm for the first 100 miles, up to 6500rpm until 1st service, and now generally shift at or below 8000 when goosing it. I haven't hit the rpm or speed limiter yet.
