When you drain the factory oil, ensure the sump plug area is spotless, then drain the oil into a clean container. Allow any sediment to settle and slowly drain the container off. You will then see why I leave the factory oil in for so long. Bugger all metal is timmed off during the run in period and the minute amount that is gets picked up by the filter. I have done this with all my bikes and never had a drama and they get absolutely flogged. Have a blast, Paul.
Looks like I will stick with Mobile extra 4T semi synthetic oil untill around the 10k mark, then maybe go fully synthetic.
Cheers.
