Got new bike (sorry, not Honda) and need advice...

Well, sold a 2002 GSXR600 and decided to start looking for a new bike. I am not a big fan of the under tail exhaust so I decided to go with either a Suzuki. I got it for a good price that includes a 3 years warranty. with a total of 17 miles on it now, I cannot comment much on the performance but I am debating on how to break it in... The dealer suggests that I do it on the dyno (usually 5%-10% more power than the Suzuki's recommended process) and I am wondering if I should just follow the manual. Input on this would be greatly appreciated.

PS: the 929 is going no where....I'm keeping it.

There is much debate on the topic. This guy has an interesting opinion and makes a compelling argument.
