Default 20 hour initial service

question for y'all-

Is it better to do the first service at the 20 hours or the 100 miles? My owners manual says "whichever comes first, 100 miles or 20 hours" I will rack up 100 miles very quickly, i just put 30 on tonight in a little less than 2 hours (no i wasnt beating the crap out of it either, i kept my speed under 40mph)

I'm just wondering if any dealers have said anything about this to any of you. what should i do? I have the oil and filter already. I just dont want to do it before i need to, but i dont want to wait too long either.

on small engines run it hard, then change oil soon, if ur riding that much change it at 65m, watch the silver pour out of it

I change my oil and filter after 1 hr., to get the metal shavings out. For break-in, I stick with a petroleum oil. I change it again at 10 hrs. At 20 hrs. I change it again and switch to a synthetic oil (Maxima Extra or Ultra) and do a valve adjustment.
