I think you should have used a non-detergent motor oil, such as Shell Aero 100 Ashless Dispersant Aviation oil. Something about friction modifiers in normal detergent oils, like the Valvoline, which delay bedding in of the rings. It probably doesn't matter now, but next time break in with non-detergent.
Even new bikes use a different oil for the first 500 miles for break-in purposes.
Like Bill says, don't redline it, but take it out and run through the gears with a couple of good, hard pulls. I wouldn't rev it over 5000-5500, but you need to load the engine to get those rings to seat.
