Would it be okay to have it set to 5,800 during my break-in period?
and what is up with the break-in period? I think it should be eliminated. It's 2005 for God's sake no break-in period for cars should be needed

Like someone already mentioned...in case you've missed that post:
The Shift Indicator light is simply a reminder...it does absolutely NOTHING to the engine (rev limit, speed governor, etc.).
Although it can be useful for those who haven't quite gotten the "shift by feel/sound" down...it is, overall, a gimmick. But again, it is quite useful in those situations where you're hauling a$$ and would rather concentrate on the road ahead than looking down at your tach.
My suggestion would be to set it slightly BEFORE redline...that way, by the time your peripheral vision sees the blinking, you have enough time to shift before actually going past redline.
^-^ Drive safe & Enjoy the Ride!!!

This is based only on my subjective experience.
