Done 5 oil/filter changes in 5060miles.. - chaparral02 - 05-05-13

I always change my bike engine oil & oil filter at the start of every summer..(And sometimes also at the end of the summer if I clocked up many miles)

My 2008 FZ1 is  now 5 years old and it done 5060miles and i just done it 5th oil + oil Filter change yesterday.. :eek

If you can afford it fella you can never change the lube and filters often enough. Well done, a bit OCD for me though. Wink

Your 100% right about not much going on over here...Living in this island is getting boring as hell...

Took the bike for a spin around the island yesterday afternoon for the first time this year and just got struck behind a car/bus/lorry/etc all doing a  top speed of around 20 to 25mph all the way around  :wall
Now I remember why I almost completely given up riding over here.. :'(
