I guess the question is as you do what you did if you did it differently how do you know? If your bike runs like clock work after x number of km's is it due to the break in schedule you used or just how well it was built? If you broke it in differently would it run any different? When I picked up my 06 a couple of weeks ago the dealer told me not to worry about the recommended schedule, just keep the revs down for the first couple of rides, letting it cool down completely between, not revving it without load and wait until after the first service to really nail it. So mostly I've been keeping it below 3.5, then 4 and now 5 thousand until the first service, (with one or two excursions higher!). Then again, the rate I change bikes I won't care what it's like at 50,000km because it won't be mine! (is that selfish or irresponsible?)
