How often do you change your oil?
#12
We run 1/4 liter mills with chainsaw redlines with a quart of oil to keep it happy. I change mine around 1K, use a part synthetic (Castrol EVO) and notice that the oil is pretty darn dark when it comes out. Overkill? Maybe. But no harm done. I plan on having my KLX for a long time indeed and figure a little extra for oil is a small price to pay.

90% of my riding is offroad so I change it every 300-500 miles. At 3000 miles when I did my big bore my internals looked new. I should mention that I hardly ever go above 7000 rpm's and never go above 9000 rpm's. There's just no need to where I ride.

+1.. I ride mine hard and she gets pretty pretty dirty all the time. so every 600 for oil and 1000 for filter. Rule of thumb you can never over service an engine
