This is a touchy subject for some people. Some break them in hard, while others baby it for the recommended amount of time or miles.
On my bike I tried the hard break in and must say, I think I hurt it a bit. When you are seating rings, there are only a couple spots on the rings that ride on the cylinder walls. So you get concentrated areas of heat which can lead to "micro welding".
Here's another pretty good read. You can choose which way you want to go
