Break-in Period

O.K. now, this break in period listed in the book AND on the bike is driving me insane! 4000RPM for 500 MILES?!?!? and 6000RPM for the next 500 MILES?!?!? :( My silver 03' 636 ROCKET WANTS TO GO!!!! and lord knows I want to give her hell, but I've been good so far, 160 miles on the clock and she's only been to 5000RPM a couple of times. How important is the break-in for a Kawa? Do I really have to lollygag around for 1000Mi. before I light up the afterburners and give the local Sheriff a reason to live?
Please help, I think I'm going insane [:eek:)]

If your butt itches, your fingers probably stink!

I'm goin' thru the same problem...I really wanna twist my wrist but my dealer told me that I should follow the break in to ensure proper engine performance...I've got about 250 miles so far...and to be honest, I've revved up to 6000 several times and my bike seems to fine...I guess if we don't follow the break in period, we'll find out sooner or later what will happen...but as for now I sometimes let my 03 636 go juss a lil' over the break in limit...it wont hurt it that much...
