i just did my first oil change. filter was $9cdn and i used amsoil so $18cdn for oil. pretty cheap for that and that should be almost all you need to do as well as lube and valve clearance checks.

How much seat time would you say you had prior to changing it? I have about 24 hours on mine and the oil is *just* starting to turn a little darker than honey.

about 18 hours. i have ran her hard though and my oil was getting dirty. i laso ride in sandy dusty conditions. anyway the filter was black. i didnt notice any small metal particles or shavings so that was good.
