I'm wondering the same thing.

I plan on taking it easy and not pulling trailers, logs, ect for the first 20 miles or so. I will ride it at normal speeds around half throttle and let it accelerate and change thru all gears.

After the first oil change, it's on like donkey kong!

My dealer told me to drive it like I would normally so I haven't held back plus I got 4 years of warranty so if anything happens I think it will happen within 4 years. I just changed oils at the 100 miles and everything looked good

I would drive it as you will all the time, just try to avoid constant speed/RPM for an extended time and don't pull or haul a big load till you take it for the 1st service. My dealer was telling me 100 miles or 20 hrs.
