Ride the bike like you are going to ride it...with the exception of varing the revs. like previously said, don't leave it at 6 grand for 20 minutes. change your gears, very the revs and use engine braking to vary the pressure in the engine and create a good seal.
They haven't updated their breakin procedure in 20 years. the machinary used now has such low tolerances that it's not like breaking in a bike 10 or 15 years ago when there was more "varience" in the cylinder walls rings ect.
Good luck, have fun, and most important.....be safe

I agree!I once saw a documentary on Yamaha.The materials today are way better than 15-20 years ago.You can practicly take the bike out of the shop and race it...don't do ittampaninja said:I break in Harley Davidsons every year, and there are no restrictions on engine rpm at any mileage. Just ride the bike like you would normallly ride it. But don't go out and try to blow it up either. Don't go to redline every time you shift. You can ride it like you stole it after it has 1000 mile on it and at the very minimum 2 oil changes.
