I think it was only about $5.99 or $6.99 per/qt to. Just an fyi, I got K&N filter from Iron Pony & it was only about $1.00 more than the fram one.

Cleaner Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 FYI, I went to Iron Pony and got the 10w50. Its awesome shit. I can feel my bike run with less vibration. The gear shifting is better and my bike stays a bit cooler too. It was $50, but I'll only be changing the oil once a year so I'm not too worried about it.

NinjaNick Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 Year old oil = major viscocity break down. I ride from February to Beginning of December every year and I change mine 1x when I bring my bike out of storage, about 3x during my riding months and 1x before storage. So 5x a year I change mine. I normally put 5-6k a year on my bike too. So about every 2 months I change mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleaner Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 I've read lots of stuff that says you only need to change your oil once every 3 thousand miles at the soonest. And that oils at up to 5 thousand miles show little chemical defference. Anything sooner than 3 thousand miles is just throwing money away because 1 day old oil is chemically unchange at 3 thousand miles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scanachi Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 OIL FILTER: K&N w/o a doubt.OIL: REDLINE (synthetic oil) is really good, too. Good Luck,JEV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironbuttwannabe Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 I could never see myself changing oil every 3,000 miles. My bike is a little different though, having a dry clutch. Im running Amsoil 20W 50 In the engine with an Amsoil EOM filter. With Redline Shockproof Heavy Duty in the transmission and final drive. Change everything at 12,000.
