 Hard break in and warranty
I have read this thread with keen interest since I appear to be getting a new engine in my bike. If I use this break in method and I blow another engine, is there diagnostic information that would show it and subsequently void my warranty? 'm a little gun shy now as you can imagine....

BUDS gives the tech a graph, with the percentage of operation spent at each rpm range, the average rpm, and the maximum rpm. Every time they hook up to BUDS they see it. If you have been on the rev limiter, they will know.

Buds RPM on our 08
On our 08, at Daytona I was having issues with the GPS (gear position sensor), at high rpms in first gear the neutal and reverse lights would flash back and forth. So the rep., reset it for me and then he look at the RPM chart to see how I was driving it. He said there was something wrong with my BUDS, because the machine show that I was running in all RPM ranges 100% of the time, So the 08 is very great machine, it can run at minimum and at maximum all the time.

I recommend going with what the owners manual recommends. For me, better safe than sorry. The recommendatins to beat it, or be hard on it scare me and I would never do so. We have had mixed reviews on driving at the red line all the time. I will say no more because I don't want to get beat up today.

I've spouted off on this subject before, so I will refrain from getting on my soapbox. Let me just say that this is not your grandfather's Model A, or your father's 1966 Dodge Charger. Break-in needs and methods have changed radically over time. Unfortunately, people's thoughts on the subject seem to have lagged behind.
