how often to change oil??

<< < (3/3)

creeture3:
O.k., the general opinion seems to be that I can leave it for a while. At the current amount of travel the GPz does, I reckon every 2 years. With the ST, maybe 18 months, or 5000 k's whichever comes first.

Thanks for all the input

Brock:
I would do it every 12 Mths, oil that isnt being raised to temp very often can create acids that would not be good for the engine.

ruSTynutz:
Think I would stick to 12 months too...
For the sake of saving maybe $100 a bike, is it worth the risk?  :think1

Itdepends:
New or old, moisture absolutely gets into your oil but a good run will “boil” it out.

If you’re worried about moisture gettin into anything it’s your brake and clutch fluid.

The answer to your quandry is to ride more ;)

Hopefully your taking them for rides reasonably often as thats the best thing you can do for them.

STroppy:
My “short” rides are in the order of 900 to 1,000 in a day for an OzSTOC RTE. Most rides are multi day or weeks with day range of 600 to 1,000 ks. So hopefully no nasty residues in the engine oils!
