i wouldn't leave my oil for any time longer than 6 months in my bike.

So I'd recommend 5,000km or 6 months. Which ever comes first.

what oil change interval woudl you recommend? 

4k............or every week, thats if you have $25CDN to spare 

we have a short riding season here in Canada, so an oil/filter change every 8 weeks seems OK .. means about $100 a year to keep'er runnin' slick.

i run synthetic and change mine every 500 miles....by bike runs excellent

I can beat that Franko.....I change my oil every other day!......and thats  if I use the bike or not
