[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1411465, member: 3828"] I agree with Dean ^^^ Do the fluids now, and then change the oil again the next time you pass a 5k mile interval on the odometer. That makes remembering when to do your changes so much easier. (5k, 10k, 15k, 20k, etc.). If you are only 1000 miles from a 5k now, just wait the 6000 miles. Any decent motor oil can last 6000 miles easy. Do the valve checks on the 25ks, and change plugs and coolant during the valve checks. Do brake and clutch fluids every 2 years regardless of miles. As for us helping you spend money, if you read about things on the forum closely it may actually help you avoid certain things that arent so great and actually save money. For instance, on my first FJR I tried 4 or 5 different seats before I finally listened to the forum wisdom and bought a Russell. If I had gone right for the Russell I could have saved a bunch. Which is what I did on my second FJR. Live and learn! [/QUOTE]
