Stiff Fork - Break In Time?

Does it take long to "break in" the forks on a new bike?

I have a 2014 Factory 300 with a several hours on it now but the forks feel much stiffer than my old Rev 3. I would like it absorb impacts better. Looking at the specs, it uses the same fork spring as the 125 but the 125 uses 5 mm lower oil levels. Does that really make much difference? Is a softer spring available? My Rev 3 started life as a 200 and I see that that some fork part numbers are different between the 125/200 and 250/270 (2008) although the spring is the same.
