I use Castrol Power1 10w-40 semi-synthetic changer every 10.000km (6000miles) or so with a new filter.
I do mostly highway/mountain road riding/commuting to work etc. so the engine always warms up sufficiently.
I ride it all year around and tend to change the oil 2 times a year, until now no probs with the engine or clutch. bike is currently on 30.000miles
Changing the oil every 2-3000 miles in my opinion is a complete waste of money unless its used for racing and is constantly revved..
The oil i'm using has an API rating of SJ which is way above the recommendation of the manufacturer so i would expect it to be still a good lubricant even after 6000miles..
