The other thing that I'd add for running it in is to make sure you don't brake too heavily for about the first 150 miles, to make sure the brake disks and pads get bedded in properly otherwise you could end up warping them.

I didn't go under 3,000 revs for the first 500 then not above 4,000 until after 1,000 miles.

My engine is a sweet as a nut.
