u can pretty much just drive it. kinda take it easy at first and make sure everything is wearing in right and then u are good to go.

Just listen... If anything sounds funky then check it out. All in all you should be safe just riding it away.

the only things that are really "breaking in" when u put on a new crank is the connecting rod rubbing on the crank for the first time and if its a new connecting rod then the connecting rod to wrist pin friction should also be monitored. like it has been said, just listen for anything wierd.
