just like it says.. just curious to see how often people change the oil on their bikes.. considering maintenance is a lot tighter on a bike than a car.. and if you actually lube the chain every 500 miles..

i did my first at 600 miles, then im going to do it at 2000 miles later... i still feel like im waiting to long to do it..

I did my first at 100 miles, put in a magnetic grain plug, then did the 600 mile, 1,500 miles and now I change every 1,500. Magnetic plug FTW

I change it at about 2k every time, if not earlier.
I also lube the chain every other fill up, which comes out to about 300 miles.

big pete

I dont keep bikes long enough to have to change the oil

Every 3k miles or two trackdays...so should I vote for 2-3k or 3-4k?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!

i had no idea what benefits you could get from a magnetic plug, so i did some research and came across this: http://www.r6messagenet.com/fo...unt=8

anyone else here use a magnetic plug? does it really help?

BIGPAT

I have a 3 yr deal w/ the dealer so i get one every 1k or whenever i feel like going in there (once a week )

Etylorcen

I use full syn so 3-4k.
How's that magnetic grain plug working out for you?

I change mine as soon as i get to the store after seeing it roll past 2000 miles since the last one.....I also lube my chain each night i get home on a day i filled the tank.

yes and yes. well actually more of a preventative thing. it just keeps any little floating peices of metal away from all the moving parts inside. i first used them when i had the Spoon peices on my CRX.

i lubed my first chain today and god it was ****** sweet riding around with a freshly lubed chain.
