Pleiades is on a distinguished road
As above pretty much. The key is riding normally so as the motor (particularly the piston/bore beds in both accelerating and decelerating, on the power/off the power. Too gentle and it won't bed in, too aggressive and you prematurely wear things out. What you must avoid though is slogging it in a high gear low down and conversely allowing it to run at sustained high revs, or revving it excessively with no load. If I recall the manual states max 4500rpm for the first 600 miles. You can go beyond that for brief periods, but never for long and never under full throttle/load.
