oil changing

[440exmotoxer]

how often do yall change your oil? i ride it pretty hard racing mx and all and i was wondering how often yall changed your oil.

[DaleJrFan]

i change mine every 30 to 40 hours of run time, so about once a month the way i ride.

[JRDrider22]

if your into mx and you ride hard i change mine every 3 hard rides.
also remeber to change your oil filter

[400-416EX]

I usally change mine after every race. Thats one practice, 2 moto's and a few rides during the week for practice then it gets changed before the next race

i change my oil & oil filter with mobile 1 red cap every 7-8 tanks of gas...i am a recreational rider so I dont race

that's an oil cooler.

you could lube your chain, cables (haven't had to do that yet)

[440exmotoxer]

yeah i lubed my chain but idk what to do with the cables. does the oil cooler need any fluids in it. im sry im used to working on dirt bikes. :o

no..your oil cooler doesnt need fluids...

im not sure because i haven't done it, but the "mechanic" at the stealership told me that they make special kind of lubricant (basically WD-40 with a $12.00 sticker on it) with a special kind of hose that will fit into the cable adjuster end and you just spray the stuff and work the cable.
