I bought a brand new KLX250S in 2009 (250cc dual sport thumper) and for grins decided to change the oil at 250 miles. There were some tiny shiny bits floating in the oil as I expected. I didn't change that one again until about 750 miles and will probably do 1000-1500 intervals due to the type of riding I do with it higher up in the rpm range.
I followed the same schedule with my CB1100 at 250 miles (didn't notice much) and again at 500. If there is anything in there during the initial break in, i would rather get it out sooner rather than later. I figure it's cheap enough insurance. Now I'll keep to the normal regimen from this point on.
I am also 99.9% certain that 10/40 is perfectly fine for the CB1100... very few shops even stock 10/30 in any MC brand any more. it's almost all 10/40... (I know the shop manual recommends 10/30, I have one)
