Ive had my Z for about 6 months and when I got it I changed the oil and put a fresh oil filter on. Ive ridden several times and probably put about 40 hrs on the motor since the oil change. When I check the oil it's still very clean like I just put it in. Im used to seeing the oil black in previous dirt bikes Ive had after the motor has been run. This is the first air cooled motor Ive had so will the oil stay cleaner since it doesnt get as hot? Or is the oil not circulating properly? What color is your oil after riding?

Air cooled??? Umm, its liquid cooled. I would change the oil regardless of what it looks like.;)
