Blip or Not?

Nate,

Good conclusion all around.  

Basically, it's a race bike and will require more attention and maintenance than a bike solely ridden on the street.  Besides a race bike is meant to be run hard, if you're not pushing the limits of the bike you can probably assume you are far away from the destructive limit of the machine.  Just remember to change your fluids regularly.  If you observe the color and viscocity of the waste oil of your machine, you can also interrogate the effects of your riding style on the operating state of the bike.  Kind of like if you see a lot of shiny stuff in the waste oil, it may indicate that you have unusual mechanical failure or wear requiring further investigation.  Unless you are racing at the bike peak rpm all of the time, the kind of wear you see will be marginal.  Still the same, it won't hurt to do a once over on the motor after the season.
