How important is it to stay withthin the guidlines?

0-500 miles = 4000 rpm (35mph)

500-1000 miles = 6000rpm

Will it do anything bad to take it upto say 45 or 55 mph to at least reach the posted speed limits?

Break-In procedure:

I don't live by the posted procedure on bikes and they last forever and run STRONG. Plus you'll get ran over on the road going that slow, it's more dangerous than anything.

I've always broken in my bikes in this manner and have always had strong bikes for what they were. MOST IMPORTANT is changing the oil, and using a dino oil during the break in period.

on my 636 I let it warm up to temp at the dealer, then turned if off and let it cool down, then rode it up to temp, did a few 3rd gear pulls progressively to redline, then changed the oil and filter. Rode at varying RPMs and throttle inputs and did a good amount of engine braking all the way to 500 miles, then changed oil and filter again, this time went to semi-synthetic (HP4) and never looked back.
