It depends on who you ask. Some people say to just break it in the way you are going to ride it. Some say to take it easy for the first tank of gas or so. From what i've heard, riding hard to break it in will give you a little more HP, but the engine won't last quite as long. The 400ex motor is pretty tough though, so I wouldn't worry about it.
