I say, just leave it in there, and ride it next Spring another 2,000 miles, then change it.

Stopped in the local dealership yesterday and talked to the head service tech, and he said it would be fine. As a matter of fact, he said ride the bike in the Spring until the regular mileage for an oil change is due (about another 1500 miles). He said the same thing I was thinking "really good synthetic oil is still very "fresh" at only 1500 miles of use".
