Im not going exactly by the book, ive got 301 miles on mine, and i take it up to 5k RPM regularly, and every now and then will hit 7k or 8k, then go right back to below 5k. Bike is doing great, no problems, cant wait to open it up full throttle. I think the main things to be concerned about in break in is proper warm up and always keeping a load on the engine, whether accelerating or decelerating.........

I followed the break-in rules from Kawasaki for the most part. On rare occasion I opened it up just a little.
