I've owned 2 Yamahas, 2 Kawasakis and my current Honda, all bought new.
I ALWAYS use the manufacturer's recommendations for break-in on all my bikes and have never had a problem.
As far as I'm concerned any other method is nothing more than voodoo science and asking for trouble and/or warranty voiding.
