Read your manual! I'm surprised the dealer didn't tell you anything. Break-in is 600 miles where you should vary the rpms and stay under 6000 and then do first service. After that, stay under 7000 rpms till 1000 miles I think.
My dealer said screw the break in period...I've been having fun since 50 miles +

Do you mind my asking, is this your 1st bike and how old ya are? I'm 46 (until about a week from now), have had numerous duals and cruisers through the years. Though this is less than half the cc's of my last bike (VTX1300) it's lots quicker and more fun and seems to be enough for some 2-up riding (not across the U.S. 2-up but day trips). If ya want to race people,do lots of stunts (like the idiots who pull wheelies on the freeways with traffic at 90mph) or want a more long tour bike than no this isn't the bike for you. Really how fast do you need to go on a bike?

He may be fast at the end, but you had him for the first 500 feet, right?!?!
