I'm curious as to what the owner's manual says, but I remember for my IS, I did:

No high revving under 3,000 miles and no hard braking under 1,000. After the 3,000 mile mark came, OH BOY!?! (Believe it or not, I actually didn't go faster than 60mph for the first 3K)

The guide lines are minimal:
Avoid rapid acceleration
Avoid hard braking
Avoid use of cruise control and vary speed.

Much easier than breaking in a Harley!
