Hi My dealer out here in Spain is trying it on I reckon. How often do you get your bike serviced. I say by milage or annually.
Normally I will do my own servicing oils filters etc!But as my FZ6 is still under yamaha 2 year warranty (2010 bike but first registered June 2013) they are telling me the oils should be changed at 6000kms = 3750 miles. I had the first service at 1000kms =625 miles. I have looked at the service manual and it says 10,000kms/6250 miles for oil change and 20,000kms/12500miles for the filter. I would not do an oil change without changing the filter anyway.
Also I do not think I would let the oil run beyond 5000miles either.
What do you reckon. I do ride the bike out here in Spain all year round. If I was in the UK and the bike was led up for the winter months I would do an oil change as a matter of course come Spring time.
Thoughts please.
