mahlzeit

have a look to the owner's manual (page 50, running in):

	'During the first 1,000km (600 miles), do not
	operate the motorcycle at more than 80% of
	the maximum speed in any gear. Avoid full
	throttle operation, and do not operate for a
	long time at one speed.'

I've done it this way and had no problems. So the max. rpm for the first
1000km
should not beyond 6400rpm.
