i know i don't have to change it that early, i just like to keep my oil clean. i mean, when you see how people treat their cars every day, and the oil comes out sludgey or chocolatey when you change it, it just really annoys you i guess. i like to keep my oil fresh even if it still has time to break down. i was amazed too. i did see that had some sort of repsol on the shelf, but it didn't look to be for sports bikes. i know they make different types of oils. possibly i dealt with a new guy or something?
