You can't do that without nullifying the warranty on the bike.

You MUST do as the MOCO says.

I drain all 3 holes every 5K. It may be overkill but for a few dollars in oil, WTF!

I strongly disagree... Money spent on hookers and beer is not wasted.

Default Oil Change

If I was only going to to 1 oil change annually, it would be before I put it to bed in the fall/winter.
Oil is a lot cheaper than a bike.

I do the same, don't laugh lol . Oil is cheap, engine and tranny repair cost arms and legs.

I start the with fress oil in all holes. The I change the oil every 3000 and the others at 6000. I use AMSDIL but I just cant run past 3000 on the engine. On our race engine we change every 20 runs and that is 13 qts with filter. Just makes the engine last longer and at 598 cid with 1037 HP oil is cheep.

Have you had an UOA done,or is it an uneducated assumption?
