i am assuming it is brand new? anywhere between 600 and 1000 miles should be good for a new bike.

Shame on you, shame. We have all been there, Tied to a paycheck before we can get something important done.
Just don't screw yourself out of warrantee by going over heaps of miles on the recommended service intervals.

Don't worry it wont harm your machine and I guess your still breaking in the bike.
when you do change the oil use the best full synthetic oil you can afford.
it's worth it

CHANG IT NOW!!! iv done it at 25 miles on all of my buddys bikes and this is what i found! THATS ALL ALUMINUM!! i dont about you but i wouldnt want that going around in my engine for 800 miles!! spend the 25 bucks on 4 quarts of amsoil or hp-4 and you will be good to go! and dont buy cheap oil! systhetic motorycle oil is designed to lube the engine AND tranny! so get too it!
