+1 to Avi8or.

Follow the break-in procedure. If there is a conflict then re-read it. Break the motor in conservatively. The tank label will tell you what revs to use til what mileage, but the handbook may give you some more guidance like don't bog the motor, don't over-rev, vary the revs etc.

The fast break-in is all well and good if all you are breaking in is new rings and bores. All the other stuff in the motor need to settle down as well.

Too many stories of guys breaking in motors fast - ooh look I got 5 extra bhp doing it this way. Then 12 months later the motor is drinking oil, down on power and basically worn out.
