The oil? I'd change it after 2 tanks. After that, It will be every 4 to 5 tanks of fuel. More or less depending on how you ride, and the conditions.

When I first got my 450r I rode it for 2 hours then changed the oil. The next time I went about 6 hours and changed it again.

I used non-synthic oil for the first 3 changes to make sure the rings wore in good.

Now I use Amsoil 10-40 and change it about every 10-15 hours.

Change both sides and the filter every time.

After you break in your quad change all fluids and adjust your vavles.

If it was a 400ex he would have to get the valves done a few hours after break in. But the 450r's don't need any valve work for a season or two.

also make sure you check your valvs when the engin is cold it will not be right if the motor is worm or hot
