How often...
how often does everyone change thier oil....I was changing my every 2500 miles and the aprilia dealer actually said that I should be by the book and do it every 4500 miles......what do you guys think? I run motul semi synthetic (can't run full becuase of my slipper clutch) and just wanted to get everyones opinion on the matter.

2000 on the dot, HP4. I can't attest to if it's worth it or not because I'm not a mechanic, but it makes me sleep at night.

+1 on the HP4...just make sure it's the one WITHOUT Moly. |
I've been bad about changing the oil on my street bike at regular intervals :bigblush:
I just had it done last weekend after a few thousand street miles and 5 trackdays :bigblush: I thought Nick at Moto-Insanity was gonna kill me. Once it was dumped in to the pan I took a look at it. Pretty much a big puddle of tar :banghead: Won't let that happen again! From now on, every 1500 miles. |

i change mind about every 2500 to 3000 and change the filter every other oil change. I used Amsoil, have that mobil super syn in there now, but will be changing it soon.

I was changing mine every 3000 miles. When totaling up the miles ridden, I doubled the miles done on the track. This was with Honda HP4. I've switched over to the full synth Amsoil and I understand it can go as long as 6000-10000 miles between changes, but the filter should be swapped out at 3000. I unfortunately never get that many miles on per season, so I figure I'll be changing it once a year...in the fall at the end of the season. We'll see....
Keeping the oil clean is the most important thing you can do for your bike. :nod: |

shit 1500 miles....I'd be changing my oil every month....I think I would be spending more money on oil and filter then on gas....I thought I was conservative at 2500

2000, and i change the filter with every oil change.
Why risk with something thats so easy an inexpensive. IMO...3 things that increase the longevity of a bike 1) Smart rider (not beating up the bike) 2) Consistant oil and filter changes (remember, if its a wet clutch, fibers do get in the oil, do you really want them in you transmission and lower end) 3) Reccomended valve adjustments (i have a 97 GSXR 600 with 23k in miles STUNTED HEAVILY, that runs like a champ, had valves adjusted twice) |
2000 and I change the filter every time..too easy to neglect..
