1. Start in first gear...
2. Go faster
3. Go fastest...
Ok, that's only 3 gears...<BG>
Just rev it to where you feel comfortable and shift.
Too soon will fell like it's bogging down, and too high will get you very nervous right before it blows up.

(
so somewhere in between....
Just ride it like you stole it....
When I picked up my new 06 SM, I asked the salesguy how to break it in... He said to ride it the same way you intend to ride...Not to baby it.
If you wait too long to shift, the engine just runs out of revs. Do the AIS removal.... helps.
