Just ride it normally, don't rev it too high and don't lug it. Don't abuse it, don't baby it.
nailed it

500 MILES (OR SOMEWHERE CLOSE). 2200 - 4000 rpm - NO STEADY HIGHER SPEEDS (65MPH) -
Or you can always do like I always do... Slow Speeds for maybe 100 Miles - then go for it (I have never had a problem with this way??? and I have broke in dozens the same way)

Thats how I broke in my HQ build, had it done while on the Dyno. Once the break in procedures where completed the final tuning began. I have about 2k on the build and it doesn't burn a drop of oil and the compression is dead on where it should be and equal front to rear. Nice thing is I was able to just ride the damn bike without all the pu$$yfooting around.
