You don't have to rev it up, but within 1st 100-miles, you should give it the beans to maximize cylinder-pressure to push rings onto cylinder-walls...

This isn't some '50s-tech cast-iron engine with tolerances in 1/1000th-inch that requires grinding lots of cylinders away to make parts fit. That's mostly done already through precision machining within 1/10000th-millimetre along with plateau-honing. Break-in is just final stage of seating rings onto surface.

They most likely didn't put in old-style single-weight dino oil that burns easily, so you don't have to worry about too much glazing cylinders. Don't let it idle too long, maybe adjust idle to 1500rpms. And vary RPMs and load/throttle (don't ride at steady speed). Gradually add load/throttle, 50%, 75%, 100% by 100-miles.

Might be good idea to send in 1st-oil change sample for used-oil analysis to Blackstone Labs to get baseline reading for engine. Get TBN option.
