I try to do 8-10 heat cycles before riding to seat the rings and bearings. If you have a head temp gauge start up the engine and let it idle till 120, then do slow up and down revs up to 5k on the stand until it hits 200-220 F then shut it down till under 100 F, then repeat. You can let it cool completely its all the same but at least under 100F.
Then go for a ride around the block or a big open parking lot, anywhere thats not hilly, and try to keep RPMs under 5-6k but never maintaining any rpms for at least 45-60 minutes. It sounds boring but its necessary. Then for about 2 tanks of gas after and initial trial ride dont use anything over 3/4 throttle. After 2 tank you should be good to go usually. Just make sure that while youre doing all the break in that youre not lean, rich is ok.
