Was does everyone recomend for the first oil change? I put on about 120 miles on Saturday (it's about freakin time) and I now have about 200 miles on her. I plan on bringing it in at 600 miles for the first service but would you recomend changing it sooner? I did change the oil on my klx250 at 250 miles and then again at the 600 mile mark.

Thanks,

 

I just waited, but it is up to you of course manGet a few oil changes in her, thenget on the synthetic stuff and it will run much better.

I did my first oil change at 230 miles.I would have done it at 100, but I knew I was coming back to Iraq, and didn't want to have to change it twice. So I let it ride 'til I was getting ready to leave. The sooner you do your first oil change, the better it's going to be for your bike.

 

Thanks. When you changed the filter, what did you do to keep the oil from draining down on the fairing?

 

Take the left fairing off, after that it shouldn't drain onto anything. I don't remember anything really coming out of mine anyway, but I always start draining first. Don't forget to let it warm up before, especially for this first one so that you get more of those metal particles out.
