I had the same concern, so I brought my questions to my favorite tech (Southern California area - Rider's Revelation. If you're within 90 miles of Costa Mesa, go see Jimmy Summers. He's a ****ing amazing tech, and one of the straightest shooters ever.)

Basically, for the first 600 miles give her ample time to warm up and don't push her to redline. That's about it.

The big thing to keep in mind is that the bikes are shipped to the dealerships in pieces, and the 'ships give the assembly task to mooks, not skilled techs. Jimmy has seen some SERIOUS omissions and ****ups in assembly. Fortunately, the only problem with my bike was that the throttle and clutch play was set by someone who has probably watched movies of people riding a motorcycle, but most likely has never actually tried it himself.

And yeah, the Wiki would have saved me a lot of headache.
