You can't go wrong by following the manual but I like this method:

1. At low RPM's (say around 2 or 3k), occasionally floor the throttle for a couple seconds to help seat the rings (but don't rev above 4k)
2. While going downhill with light throttle (not much load on the engine), slowly increase maximum RPM's by 100 over a week or two, eventually hitting redline, i.e., hit 4,100 one day, then 4,200 the next, then 4,300 the next, etc.

Note that by following the above method, you will never be at full throttle AND high RPM at the same time, only one or the other. There is obviously no evidence that this method is the best but it makes sense to me anyway.
