As long as you're not holding the RPM at a constant point droning a brand new motor on and on, you'll be fine. Don't worry about the factory spec for breaking in the engine. Use it as a baseline.

What I did with my triple was used a LOT of engine braking and acceleration constantly varying the rev of the motor within the listed rev range, plus or minus a 1000, and my motor runs like a bat out of hell. I've been bouncing off the rev limiter since 4,000 miles (during wheelie practice mostly) with the way I broke my engine in and have 0 problems. The S3 was built to be a bulletproof powerplant. Don't baby it.
