sorry to ask stupid question, I've had my F4 for bout 8 months, changed the fluids when I bought it. Now 1,700 miles later and a new year coming up Im wondering, after how many miles or real time is an oil change a necessary, keep in mind I use everyday when weather permits to work and back nothing hardcore, racing or such. Thanks guys!
Also, Im using Honda original oil and filter

 

I'd say every 3k miles or once a year whichever comes first.

 

awesome theres a clear answer i was looking for, thanks!

 

wow once a year....I do mine every 3k miles...basically twice during the summer, and once before I ride in the spring

 

Every 3000 miles, that's about 6 weeks for me. Change it myself of course, and always full synth.

 

DAMN u guys hammer miles away, is that for work or joy rides?

 

I put 4k on mine in the last3 months and almost 20k on my F4 the first year I owned it. mine is is commuting to work 30 miles one way everyday. Pretty much year round. I guess the ones questioning once a year either didnt read the entire post or have a hard time believeing someone would ride last than 3k a year. I know quite a few people in my area that have them just for social hangouts and crap. I dont like those kind of people but I also dont wish harm to the bike either.

 

thats a long way, 30 miles are what I'll do on a joy ride thru back roads and along the river , but everything is just so close to where I live that Im one of those people that despite riding to work and everywhere else it just not far enough. But riding that much is gotta be awesome, in fact, I hate the fact that it might take me 5 min to gear up/down and warm up the bike; then 5 or 10 min later I get to my destination rides for me are NOT long enough to really enjoy. .

 

I bought the f4i from my brother after he moved to Alabama. I drove his car down there and rode the bike back. 500 miles in 10 hours. I hurt for a week but its a pretty cool acomplishment I think.

 

wow, I dont think I would try that....but some serious ability to take the pain
