My personal experience is that these are very tight engines with very tight tolerances. The first hundred I didn't baby it but took it a little easy but still hit the upper rpm limit. After that I progressively got more aggressive with her.
So, I didn't limit throttle usage but let my conscience be my guide.

As far as warm up. About as long as it takes to put on my helmet and gloves then I'm gone. Idling a lot to warm it up really doesn't do much good. Every one looks at the temp gage but the oil, which is the important thing is still cold.
I prefer to warm up the bike as a whole. Coolant, oil, tires and brakes and myself at the same time.

Welcome and have a good one.
