First oil change

MissHell · 12-13-2009, 01:26 PM

My BF '08 CBR-1000 first oil change is scheduled at 600 miles, how exact do we need to be on that? Will it be a big deal if it's done at 700-750 miles?

No. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

But, it's a half hour job at most. Peace of mind is great security.

I do my first oil change at around 20 miles. There's all kinds of gunk that gets shed when the bike is first run, it's best to not have that spinning around in the motor.

There isn't all that much and what exists is caught in the filter.

Change it at 700. Is doesn't matter.

I think sportbike riders (young and dumb and full of cum) change the oil waaaay too much on bikes. Every 3k miles with full syn. is enough.

Think of the enviroment...lol

Actually if you're using full synth 5k changes are just fine.

You're not riding anywhere near hard enough if your oil isn't black and cruddy after 5k miles.

I was trying to find a way to call bullshit, but I guess if you riding full throttle alot, you are running 12:1 or so which should make for darker oil (more carbon).

It takes me almost a year to get to 5k on the CBR.....the EX500 I do it every 3000 since its a carbed bike and it is started cold alot.

But sure 5k is prolly no issue....

How does he like the CBR so far?
Is he keeping an eye on oil consumption?
