[QUOTE="Geezer, post: 48673, member: 436"] Well, it all depends on whether you're using synthetic or mineral oil... ;) Actually, there are some very informative threads about motor oil on the forum that you should read when you have time. I try to perform all of the recommended maintenance on the schedule in the owner's manual. Sometimes I'd rather ride than perform maintenance and the mileage might go as much as 5k between oil changes. I don't think that's anything to worry about. If you are going to store your bike , like maybe for the winter, you should put fresh oil in the crankcase to prevent the contaminants (especially acid) in the old oil from etching your bearing surfaces.
