I wouldnt recommend riding it like you stole it. Read the book. Dont wind out for a while, work up the rpms, dont make it pull as hard as it can, work all the gears & bearings in, slowly increase how hard you accelerate it. Dont be seeeing if it will make 0 to 60 in 6 seconds. At sustained speeds, vary the rpm, Once you start running it up, run up to a new top speed, hold it a few seconds & drop back down, to allow any "Hot Spots" to cool back down equal to the rest of the engine. Ive been told that slapping the throttle shut at speed causes vacuum to drive the rings against the cylinder, speeding the mating. As soon as you have 500 miles on it & change the oil, it's okay to run it 100 MPH!!! The book says so, Dont lug it, while its new, its easy to make it chug, after its all broken in good, it will walk away from a stop from a much lower rpm.
KEEP THE Idle set high enough to keep the top end lubricated. It is a low pressure system & setting the idle down low can cause serioous problems.
Now, slap a TRapp on it, rejet it, put a fork brace on it & watch out for those stock tires. Mine were slick the whole 5,000 miles.
