Running in new rings

What is the thinking about running in new rings in the glaze busted bores?

Been thinking slowly build up the revs and dont let it labour for a couple of hundred miles, or do I just ride it like I stole it?

Thanks.

I have had lots of varying advice on this

Going to go for keeping the revs up, short bursts of high revs, longer periods of slower running, dont let it idle at first start up or when stopped in traffic

Reckon 20 miles or so ought to do it.

Hopefully have it back up together next week.

Don't overthink it to much , use the bike as normal , don't lug up hills in high gears, vary the revs and keep the engine running light .

Very true not to overthink - there are so many differing views on the subject, I am sure it will be fine.
