Redlining it often shouldnt be a problem. the manual advises against holding redline for over an hour. Hitting redline for 10 minutes at a time is no big deal.

also fyi how loud an engine is has NOTHING to do with its reliability, although the Suzukis are pretty good. Nice motor *thumbs up*
 
It redlines at about 5400 rpm and is a 2005 motor. In the manual it says not to redline it for more than an hour once it's broken in. IS it bad to redline it often? It's a Suzuki and it's really quiet so I imagine it's really reliable. Thanks
