The dealer told me to take it easy until after the 500 mile service. But obviously while on the highway I cant drive slowly due to safety reasons.

The speed doesn't matter. Its the engine speed that does. Try not to baby it to much but don't rev the bike up at all. Try to stay below 6000 rpm about half way to the RR's redline. Try not to stay at a certain rpm for to long either. After 500 miles bring the rpm range up further to about 7500 rpm and every 100 miles after take the rpm up 1000 rpm. People think they can just redline the crap out of the bike after 500 miles but that's not true. Take time to gradually bring the break in rpm up. You really don't have to wait every 100 miles if you don't want but gradually get up to redline. After 1000 miles the motor should be able to redline all day no matter how you do it. And remember if it burns oil then you did it wrong.

it didn't hurt you unit at all.the highway miles are the best miles you can ever put on a vehicle.. these miles won't let your power train wear much at all... and you sure are a good one,and not go so slow,and cause an accident..... a 300,000 mile vehicle ,with highway miles is in so much better shape than a car that has been driven in town,at all the stop and go stuff.we have to do.... this will last you a long time,if your concerned about things like this. good luck...

never break your motor in on the highway always vary the engine speeds and shift thru the gears often open the throttle in smooth a manner dont whack it open or closed stay in the rev range recommended the factory does a lot of research to give you that info

Don't "bog it" don't red line it, and don't run it at a steady RPM for any extended period,( that is to say vary the RPM while cruising).
Once you have passed the break in miles ride as you would normally.

You don't want to race the engine, keep your RPMs low and vary your speed - don't hold it at the same speed for too long.
