Default oxygen sensor engine light

I found the oxygen sensor unplugged to the front cylinder so I plugged it in&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; The bike ran fine before and still runs great&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; Why didn't I get an engine light when the sensor was unplugged?

The Harley Davidson&nbsp\\;factory tech tells me that the o2 sensor will not turn the engine light on during the first 1000 miles or so.&nbsp\\;Anyone heard that one before&nbsp\\;

If I disconnect the o2s on my 2007 Sportster I get a Light within a few miles.
