i changed my oil after my first day of riding(@3hrs). the reason... many people say that the oil put in at the factory has the viscosity of penut oil. ok, maybe a little facetious. true or not, you can only be sure if you put it in yourself. i just felt way more comfortable knowing what was in my machine and how much(trany side). i am anal, so i ordered the service manual the same day as my purchase and didn't do any riding after the initial break-in until i received my manual and went over the entire maintenance section... that included all fluid levels and cable adjustments, etc. and, like many others, my throttle cable was not adjusted properly either. so... in a situation like yours, i would at least do an oil change w/o new filter before another ride. then, do another oil and filter change as soon as you get that filter. don't forget, your first oil change is important. after break-in, you may have a small amount of metal/debris in your oil and filter.
