change it , then ride it. 1000ks in 11 months???

For a new bike, I would change oil and filter at 500kms.... then 1000kms..... then 1600km as per first service.

If its not a new bike then I would at least be changing oil every 6 months even if you only put 500kms on it in that time. Oil degrades over time.

My rule is every 6 months or every 3000k's, 5000k's at the most, what ever comes first, only because thats what ive been told by a few very experienced ppl, but my bike is oldish so dont know if that makes a difference.

I got my early 2007 softail with only 6500 a few months ago. The previous owner did a few big trips (philip Island) and very few local runs. Their loss is our gain. Low KM good price, immaculate condition. Trying had to rectify his shortfall.

Dammit forgot to change the signature. fixed now.

Hmmmmm, try selling a 2007 bike with 35000km, you'll be treated like it's got the plague.

My 09 has over 70,000 km on it, not game to go to the dealers and ask for a trade price, they will offer bugga all for it so I will just keep riding it and whenit gives up the ghost rebuild it.

Fuck my bikes 3 weeks old with 2000k on it.
Ride it

Searching for an oil thread, this cant be serious 20 kms a week?
