I did the first oil change at 100 miles/10hrs.  When should I do the second oil change?  Stick with the manual or half what they say?  I ride at off road parks and demand a lot from her, but also like to treat her nice in the garage lol.  zforce 500.

I like to change mine when it just starts to get a slight tint. For mine that's around 800-1000 miles...or every other year. If I was to ride harder I might change it every 600 or so but I use pretty expensive oil so I tend to go a bit.

Dealer offered free first service at 300. I will let them do first then was thinking every 500 miles. It will take me a while to get there.

Dealer told me to do the first one at 100 miles, then a t 500 miles do it again and change front and rear diff oils. Then every 500 miles after that. They said they do that to all of their customers bikes and have good results. Mine only has about 150 miles so I have awhile till my next one.

Followed the break-in interval from the manual, then I do at a minimum once a year.

The diffs are so easy to do, so I do them yearly as well.

Thanks everyone!  Yeah I did the diffs around 200 miles and I think I'm at about 400 miles now.  Prolly just do the diffs at every oil change as it's so cheap and easy.  While we are at it, how often should I be greasing the chassis?  I power wash after every day out, have been greasing about once a month (every 3 times out or so) don't know if this is extremely overkill.  Been riding through some water, but I try to avoid it if I can.

If you ride in much water never hurts to grease and push that water out as best you can. No water up here so mine gets greased every 3-4 rides anyway.

I grease before a big ride and after the power wash from the big ride. We do have mud and I run through it regularly. I ride through water too but nothing too deep. Grease is cheap and it’s easy to do. I wish it had more grease fittings.

Thanks, will be doing it more often now!
