First oil change
How important is the first oil change?
I am looking at buying a 2006 F4i with 3300 miles on it. The bike is almost mint and the owner seems to be a stand up guy but he never did the first oil change. From what I understand you don't want the oil that comes in the bike from the factory in the engine too long.
Do you think going 2 years (he bought it new in 07) and 3300 miles on this oil will have a long term effect on any internals?
Thanks!

The issue with first oil change at 600 miles is that the motor is breaking in and there will be alot of junk in the oil. Is it going to kill the engine? No, would I change the day I got the bike? Yes.
