i would put a couple hundred miles on it first before WOT. just to be safe!

Don't know about the gears .... but YES on the clutch. You should give it some regular highway miles .... no abuse. Can't remember the exact recommendation, though.

That's what I did. Some people say it's not necessary, but I felt better being safe than sorry.

500 miles of easy driving for the clutch (no burnouts!!!) and nothing for the gears.

K C meaning the king cobra clutch? I'm not shure either but when i did my stage 1 spec. it said to give it 700 city miles meaning stop and go heat up cool down, although i did 1,000 on mine. The gears no as long as the guy did them properly you should be good to hammer down !! BTW what gears did you do? peace

Gears, "uh, like 5 feet" as the mechanic that did mine told me, lol. (not really any breakin required)

Clutch, YES SIR! But I don't know exactly how long. Somebody said 500 miles, that sounds like what I've heard before.

my fms HD clutch said 500mi break in.. it was tuff but i managed to do it somehow, clutch gets noticeably easier to drive after about 100 (depending on how much city/highway you do)

i cant wait to get my gears done

how much did you pay for the install?

I would take it easy on the clutch for a while.

Same principle at work like brake shoes/drums or pads/rotors.

As for the gears

I have always made a small drive at various speeds but not subjecting them to any kind of heavy load. Maybe five miles or enough for them to reach a normal temp and let them completly cool off for a complete heat cycle.

Two to three times like that before I hammer on them.
