aye this was the thread I was reading, seemingly changed in 2001 from 4000- 6000 despite nothing changing  :lol

- 5000 seems a good compromise - and easy to remember

Oil loses its lubricating qualities over time.
This will no doubt be affected by how the bike is ridden, heat, cold, etc.
My bikes mainly used to go to and from work, so i'm not exactly ripping the nuts out of it, which means me changing the oil every 4000 miles is probably not really necessary, but it certainly won't hurt the thing.


It's a bit like women and shoes, they don't really need them, they only have two feet and there's plenty of wear left in the ones they bought years ago, but it's not doing anyone any harm replacing them anyway.  :lol
