Default 10+ hours, no oil change

i've ridden way more then 10 hours on my new scrambler, i've jumped, raced, got it stuck in deep mud, and still haven't changed the oil. I would've brought it in but my dealers gone untill friday or saturday, and i wanted to ride tommorow but i'm scared to cuz i've already beat it and havent changed the oil so i want to wait, should or am i safe to go with out? How many of you 4 wheeler owners beat yours during the break in period, some of you in a past post i've made said you should break it in the way you ride it, is that right, cuz that's what i did and i hope it'll last me. THANKS for all the help and for putting up with my annoying questions!!!!!!

I got about 25-30 hours on mine and finally did the break in oil change....and of course like a normal person I got tired of babying it after the first time out of riding and started drive in it like I planned to.

I had the same problem with the oil in the airbox, there was a topic on here where everyone was saying that if you had it on it's side, oil leaks into the airbox (which I did roll it). also, I beat the pi$$ out of mine during the break in period and changed the oil about 20 hours and it runs fine.
