RE: next oil change?
I go every 2k. I'll switch to synth this next change (@9k) then see what happens. I guess you are talking 3300 miles till the next one right? Maybe a little too long for someone that really cares/about/for their bikeand since it is so easy to do on these bikes, why not do it sooner than later? The other thing I notice is the shifting gets notchy/sluggish if I wait much past 2k, so I also use that to come up with every 2k.

yea i feel ya but i got my lat oil change at like 1200 or so so im only at 2000 now and prob wont get the oil changed again till 3000-3500. I'm going to try to do every 3000-3500 mile unless im doing some heavy riding in the season. With me it all depends on how long i have been riding or havent been riding. But doing it at 2000-2500 should be a good in the middle for you. which you would easily get this riding season or halway through the season depending on how much you ride and weather.

Ya I am sure the engineers who designed these don't have a clue on what to do, right? If you are using synthetic it ain't gonna go bad. The only way I would be worried is if it was extremely dusty where you ride. As far a daily driver goes, so are most cars. I do realize that we all love these bikes more than most family members, but at some point you are wasting money. IMO.
