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.
