BTW,if you wanna give it the best chance of breaking in good I would not follow Kawasaki's version of a break-in.
Small doses of wringing her out from time to time will do her good during the break-in.

All three of these sources outline a similar break-in process that couldn't be further from what Kawi recommends... I (personally) used the Motoman method (the middle one, below) verbatim.

New Engine Break-in Procedure
Break In Secrets--How To Break In New Motorcycle and Car Engines For More Power
Dan's Motorcycle "Engine Break-In"

ALL of these would have you DONE with the break-in period in under 100 miles.
