The main thing you want to avoid during the first few hrs. of break-in are excessive idling and low power operations. To much of that and you will glaze the cylinder walls and end up with poorly seated rings. This will eventually result in ring blow-by and higher oil consumption.
i wish the info i heard about newer suzuki engines being run hard before the frame is put is true.
Every ones info is right on. When I saw that sticker on the ZX-6R fuel tank in the shop I started my research. I thought wow, to follow that sticker seems odd. I did learn to stay a way from red line and run varying RPMs as much as possible. Try to load the engine up with out going balistic. Pay attention to engine Temps to make sure all is fine and just run it. Every one here has a good handle on what to do. You will be fine, just pay attention and do not get caught up in the moment of some rocket ship launches off the line with wild RPMs. They seemed to warm me most about that at the shop. They told me most new bikers will go easy on general rideing but will drag race lots for the new thrill of there machines.
