Break in Drive Home From Dealer
#2
In the manual it says:

Quote:RUNNING-IN
Help assure your motorcycle's future reliability and performance by paying extra attention to how you ride during the first 500 km (300 miles).

During this period, avoid full-throttle starts and rapid acceleration.
That's it.

Others here have opined that one should ride gently and vary the revs lots—don't sit at one speed for too long. In that event, the freeway's a fine place to be if you can change your speed from time to time.
