And don't baby it too much.  The rings NEED to be worked hard a little bit
durring break in.  Some 3/4 to full throttle bursts of accelleration for
only a few seconds at a time helps the rings seat properly.  Do a google
search on motorcycle engine break in and you will see some interesting
facts.  It turns out the irrasistable urge to punch it is a good thing if
not done too long and you let the engine cool down after the burst.
