If you go over 4000 RPMs once in a while it's not bad, just don't make it a habit of doing it every day until you pass the 1200-mile barrier.

Don't worry bro, just don't do it too often. I doubt you botched anything, and it's prolly good to go 5 or 6 periodically to 'tune' it up.
Wait 'till 1200 tho to do some serious thrashing.
