Default Early 1st Service

I have only 600 miles, but can't ride my bike anyway as it is waiting for its VR replacement.
Was thinking to go ahead and do an early 1st service w/out waiting for the 1K miles mark.
Any Cons, countering the "flushing some break in fluids early" Pros?

I think they used to be 500 mile services before they were 1,000 services...(shows you how old I am.)

IMO anywhere b/w 500 and 1,000 would be fine.
