Bryce,
At the risk of reopening the oil/break-in thread, you might want
to ride a few more miles with the break-in oil.  The factory
specifies 1000km - 620mi as the drain interval and many riders
have doubled that with no adverse effects.

*IMO* you run a greater risk of the rings not fully seating if
you switch over to full synthetic too soon.  If you feel you must
change the oil right away, consider running a premium dino oil
for another 1-3k mi.  YMMV, etc.
