If you read you owners manual, you would know thats a load of bullshit.
Here is direct from the owners manual, and I quote....
"To allow the engine to wear in its critical parts, we recommend that you observe the riding rules provided below for the first 500 miles. Adhering to these suggestions will help to assure good future durability and performance.
1. During the first 50 miles of riding, keep the engine speed below 4000 RPM in any gear. Do not lug the engine by running or accelerating at very low RPM, or by running at high RPM longer than needed for shifting or passing.
2. Up to 500 miles, vary the engine speed and avoid operating at any steady engine speed for long periods. Engine speed up to 5000 RPM in any gear is permissable.
3. Drive slowly and avoid fast starts at wide open throttle until engine has warmed up.
4. Avoid lugging the engine by not running the engine at very low speeds in higher gears."
If you actually read your owners manuals guys, you would be surprised how much info is in there. Hell, you will even get a laugh at a few things in there.
