I think there have been a bunch of threads about this...

I go 4000 miles, per the Suzuki manual with my bike.  No problems so far, about to do the 3rd change.

Try doing a search for the termsoil filter change miles[/list:u] and make sure to check the Search for all terms radio button.

The resulting list should be much more manageable.  You will find a fairly recent thread called oil changing (http://www.gstwins.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8749) which has several interesting opinions on the matter.  If you don't like those, keep going through the Search Results list.

Yes, yes...  I have this problem frequently as well.  and when you find a related post, the replys are 'search is your friend'. :x

newbieone mentioned the Maintenance Schedule (http://www.gstwin.com/maintenance_info.htm) that's hosted on this site.
(To find it later, use the "Go To:" dropdown in the upper right corner of the page.  Click on the "Maintenance Schedule" entry in the list.)

Anyway, "Change engine oil and replace filter " is the 7th item listed on the Every 4,000 Miles (http://www.gstwin.com/every4000miles.htm) page.
