You may also want to inform your dealer that is how your want your pdi test ridden as that first ride is probably the most critical per the article.

This is old news, very controversial, and completely unproven. No hard numbers back this up, only this guys claims about his "300 bikes."

It's just one guys opinion. Please treat it like that.

I did nothing but engine braking and modulating my speed on the 30ish mile trip home from the dealer when I first got my bike. I never kept the RPMs at a constant speed and was constantly either shifting, accelerating, or engine braking.

After dynoing my bike with the TOR CF HM can and a K&N with stock gearing I got 113hp and 69.7tq. I still need to get another dyno run in to see how the numbers have changed with the 17/45 combo. I imagine the gearing will drop hp while increasing torque, but thats just a guess.
