change all the fluids in the beginning of the ridding season regardless of miles since last change and every 5000 miles thereafter

Before winter storage and at 5000 miles during riding season, which is usually just before Sturgis.

+1 on the 5k/10k miles. I ride 15 to 20,000 miles a year, can see no value in changing it more often.

Same here, but if I'm heading out for a long road trip, like in August when I head for Sturgis, I'll change it right before I leave.
