Default Break-in milage done

Put few miles on the new bike today and am at about 600. Dealer/manual had suggestions for first 500, anything I should be doing before 1000?

What a great ride today. Wife and I started in Napa, CA and drove through the vineyards of Sonoma and Alexander valleys -great day.
