Let it warm up completely and then ride it. Change your RPM's and speed a lot. I like to do a 10 minute ride at first, then let it cool down and start over. Ride it a little longer each time. After about an hour its pretty much broke in. Do not baby it. If you do, the rings will not seat right.

I know it's been posted up before, but it is an interesting read Moto Tune Although it is primarily for 4-strokes, some of the same principles apply.

Run it hard. If something breaks you want it to happen under warranty!

I would say as long as you let it warm up first, then run it hard just the same as a 4-stroke.

Do a couple heat cycles (warm it up until the pipes are hot and let them cool off) and then go for a good ride. Let it cool off again and THEN ride it like it were still under warrenty [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Congratulations on the purchase!
