Vary the RPMs during break-in..but by how much?
I'm picking up my new RS-S tomorrow, just in time to leave with a couple of other riders on a 600-700 mile loop through central KS. Unfortunately, my first day's ride will be mostly Interstate. I know the recommendation is to avoid steady-RPM cruising during break-in, so how much do I need to vary the engine speed along the way, and how frequently should I try run it through the whole rev range? I want to break it in properly, but I also don't want to drive my riding companions bonkers.
I've broken in plenty of motorcycles before without any issues, but always started with a couple hundred miles of short, around-town trips before taking a longer tour on the superslab.
Any advice is appreciated.
