I am about to embark on a ~1500 mile weekend. My bike currently has 3500 miles on the odometer.
I reviewed my documentation to see if I needed to service before, during or after the trip.
What I found?
Owners Manual: Oil change at 4k miles/6k kilometers
Service Manual: Oil change at 6k miles/10k kilometers
What's the deal? 4k sounds "traditional" and 6k seems more "modern". The old addage "every 3k" seems to be long in the tooth these days. My Buells were good for 6400 miles between service. My truck has an oil change countdown that extends past 12k often.
