the way you made it seem. by over revving. it seems ok. i dont think you damaged anything. i mean. people take the engine all the way up to 8 all the time.
it depends on what really happened i guess. how high did you really go? maybe you passed the 8000 mark and by the time you glanced down it was around 7.
in my opinion. i wouldnt worry too much.

I just remember looking down at the tach with the clutch out half way in second, feeling the lunge, seeing the tach pretty much at the borderline of flashing with the speedometer showing 73mph.

My only reassurance is that it was 4am...

Warranty is for manufacturer defects. That is not the same as an over-rev leading to broken retainers, leading to a dropped valve. And many dealers are aware of how this happens. Fixing retainers before anything breaks is much cheaper.

This is incorrect. If he cracked a retainer, he might have no symptoms until he drops a valve one day.
You best bet is to have a shop/dealer check your retainers and make sure there are no cracks and the valves are still fully seated.

I don't know how this shift happens so much, isnt 4th just straight down?
