Hi Same advice as above, change every 4,000 miles max and change filter, however if you don't cover 4,000 miles in a year then change it yearly. Again you can change it more frequently if you prefer but using a good quality oit will last 4,000 mles I tend to use silkolene semi synthetic before 8,000 miles and fully synthetic once the bike has covered 8,000 miles plus.. My zx12r is coming upto 30,000 miles and this is the format i follow Nordy |
