gixer break in

[Justin]

you want to vary the rpm's.  To buy a bike and ride it 200 miles home at 7000rpm isn't a good idea.  
Just keep riding it. . .  you're doing fine.   Get used to it, and take it easy.  
It's more important to learn your bike than test your limit as a newer rider.

If you bought a harley, break in would be critical to the survival of the motor.  :

Just so you know.  I use almost entirely the front brake.  Also, every traffic light be alert for people rear-ending you.
I usually flash my brake light (repeated grasping and releasing of the front brake) and am ALWAYS ready to take evasive action for the idiot screaming toward the intersection.
