I had the exact same issue with my 6R. Because it's a smaller engine, the rpms climb higher faster than they do on the big boys. I suspect that warning is generic.....
Since there was no way in hell I was going to keep it under 3-4 rpms, I just rode it normally and didn't "get on it." You know what I mean....

Always give year, make, engine size and model # when asking questions. Ninjas, 600 and larger have a red line over 10,000. They can be reved to 6000 without any damage during break in. Just don't hold the revs in one place for to long. The proper way to break in a bike is to not open the throttle like your at a drag strip. Vary the rpm's so there's even wear on internal moving parts.
Wait....is 4 rpm a typo on your part? 4,000 rpm is a good # for ninja 250's & 500's.

I hit 40 at 4K RPM in second on my ninja what are you talking about. But yes do what the manual says the engine needs to properly heat cycle and break in.

You absolutely must give the engine time to break in. In fact, you'll probably need to get an oil change at the end of the break-in period, because your engine will wear off lots of tiny metal bits into the oil during break-in (which is precisely what is supposed to happen).
Deal with it now, or you'll bike will never have the power it should.

no, no, no !! examine the handbook back it says "do no longer exceed over 4000rpms for an prolonged quantity of time" what which ability is you may bypass over 4000, do exactly no longer carry it there and experience it for 10 miles non-supply up at over 4000 rpms its okay to bounce on it and exceed that decrease, yet for extremely short situations

The maker knows what he is talking about. Do you really want to deal with the engine troubles you will cause yourself, if you don't follow directions. And, by the way, they can always tell if you cheat because of the wear marks inside the engines.

be gentle for the first 500 miles then you are going to want to give it an oil change at that point the you should be fine to beat the hell out if it
