Yeap. new engines must be broken in. Vary the RPMS and no 12k shifting. there's a lot of metal bits in the oil and you'd be wise not to test that shitty oil. Change oil at 600mi. It's up to you weather or not you want to go Full Synthetic because after the brake in, it really doesn't matter.
the other method is to Run the piss out of it durring the first 30 minutes of operation at warm engine temp. I have heard conflicting debate about this method so i took the dealers advice and just varied the RPM. Running around town on short roads with lots of stops is probably best, that way you vary the rpms a LOT.

If you want your bike to last... Try, as hard as it is, to shift before 4k rpm untill 600 mi then 8k untill 1000mi, but make sure you do as many easy turns as you can because the new tires have a light film of some sort of oil on them try to get it all off b4 you get to nutty in the twisties. other than that if you take it easy your brakes should wear in normally. After you put 1000 mi under its belt thats when it time to go have some real fun.
