If you are real aggressive with it you can slide the rear tire,so watch that,otherwise you're not really hurting anything. I do when I'm out riding hard because I feel the bike corners better under rpm's than it does just idling.Cant explain that,it just seems to make a big difference. Otherwise I don't do it all the time. Any extra rpms=added piston/ring wear/fuel consumption. IMO, I'd rather just swap brake pads.
