Every 5000 miles. Amsoil 20-50 engine ... Redline HD shock trans .. B&M auto fluid (non-syn in the black bottle). You can't beat that combo, you might match it but you woun't beat it.

Primary 10K mile interval, transmission 20K mile interval. Or every 24 months if you don't ride much.

primary and transmission intervals are not as frequent as the engine, but it's easy to do and only takes a little bit more time.

I change primary and transmission when I change the engine oil

All three at about 3000 miles. Maybe overkill ut oil is cheap compared to engines and trans. All with Syn 3
