Awesome, Thanks so much for the help. I'll give that a shot and see how it turns out.

But one question. Can I just keep it on it's kickstand through this process, or should it actually be moving along the ground?

Running up the road and back killing it when you near your driveway would be best but you can get a good idea of where you are at by running it WOT for 45 seconds.
I am not a mechanic, nor do I play one on TV. Actually my advice is probably worth slightly less than what you pay to view it.

GeekMo isn't street legal yet, but I could drive around the apartment complex a few times.

You gotta be going top speed for good half mile, warm it up like the guide says by putt putting around then put it on the stand and floor it for 45 seconds, kill it while you still have it at full throttle, dont let off till its completely stopped.
