oil change intervals on track bikes
i know a majority of us here have track bikes, what i want to know is what intervals everyone changes there oil and filter at, i have a 600rr for the track, 05, and i use motul semi-synthetic oil in it, it has about 4000 miles on it in total and is used strictly at the track only, everyones input is greatly appreciated..................also, i am not a super-aggessive rider at the track, i am a casual track rider that does it for the fun and experience but i do bounce the revlimiter at times, hope this info helps

I change the oil and filter every 2 trackdays since there is usually a lot of time between them, I also inspect the clutches (thickness, warpage, cracks and coning) since I had a catastrophic clutch failure last year that cost me mucho dinero. I only change my plugs once a season, they seem to last pretty good.

I also dump oil about every 4 track days. I am running Mobil 1 Synthetic V-Twin formula.
I grabbed a case of the ELF 10w60 weight synthetic racing oil from the TPM parts club, haven't run it yet, but I am not sure that I will get to use it before the end of this season. Seems like a good synthetic oil for the price.

Whats different about it? I hear the "v-twin specific" oil is a myth

Not sure, the Autozone near me has it for a great price, but stopped carrying it recently. Before finding that, I always looked for 15w50 Mobil 1 synthetic car oil. Read many reports that the additives for motorcycle oil in general were all BS. I was not too keen on paying $10-13 per quart for something I could get for $6-8.
TPM parts club has the ELF oil promotion with the free shipping, so I jumped on that. At $8.05 per quart delivered, I thought it was worth trying.

I currently change every two track days, but I'm wondering if I can stretch it since I run full synth and you guys seem to go longer between changes.

4 days as well, unless its a long time between track days... And then I will switch just the oil, not the filter. I usually use Castrol Syntec 10w40...
