Hello all...I'm a new 06 ST owner and member. Been riding for over 20 years and this is the first street bike I've purchased new...hence my concern with break-in. I find several recommendations at odds with each other...

1. Under 3500 rpm's for 100 miles
2. Do not lug the engine
3. Do not maintain a steady rpm

It seems that to not lug the engine in any gear, and to not exceed 3500, I end up right around 3000 in any gear. I think of the three, number one would be the least damaging to not follow, assuming I'm not running it up to redline all the time...

Any thoughts would be appreciated.
