Yes, i know thats what they say in the manual for break but thats more for liability and legality stuff. They want people to get used to the bike completely before really getting on it. This is also a subjective theory as is oil threads and such. A propper break in is really just making sure you change up the rpm range frequently and dont stay above that rpm for an extended period of time. I dont recomend riding it like your in the track from day one but getting in it hard for a couple minutes here and there is fine. I took my CB up to 80- 85mph at around 5 to 6k within the first hundred miles for short periods of time. Then up to 100+ for short periods of time after that. This is what I do and Im not saying anyone else should follow suit but i know lots of people in the buisness and have broken in many new bikes and marine engines this way with no issues at all. Just saying dont be afraid to get on it for a little bit.
Ferret, not saying to bounce off the rev limiter either. I just like to expand the perameters a bit more. Lots of bikes are ran and tested before they even leave the factory and you would be suprised how high they rev the bikes without the so called recommended break in period.
