I rode mine varying rpm’s first couple hundred miles lower rpm’s then rode it normal and changed the oil and adjusted the clutch at 400 miles.

You can't go wrong with following the owner's manual recommendations:
Break-in Period
During the first 300 miles (500 km) of running, follow these guidelines to ensure your vehicle's future reliability and performance.
● Avoid full-throttle starts and rapid acceleration.
● Avoid hard braking and rapid down-shifts.
● Ride conservatively.

even i wouldn't run wide open out of the dealership for the 1st run. it would probably be fine but why risk it. maybe do a few miles on back roads 1st then hit the hwy.
