Is motorcycling allowed?

[Allrounder]

I have just done 10 000 kms with my Dakkie since my last oil change. Wanted to do an oil change over the weekend and saw the oil is still in good shape. It is still the colour of dark honey and viscosity seems to be in order as well. 

 

Will it just be good measure to change, or does it need to be done without regarding the state of the oil?

Unless it is 100% fully synthetic oil, I would do the oil change. It is only prudent to do this kind of maintenance.

I don't like the front light, looks like an add on. Bike SA, I think have a whole article about it as well.

Bike looks like it is crying, probably because somebody told it it was a KTM.

Saw pictures released as part of the new GS850 street bike, so like a R of sorts, looking seriously nice and I am not a BMW fan at all.

Has a SS1000R type lights in the fairing and the beak integrated into the fairing.

Also did a short up and down the road on a motorbike this morning .... was interesting feeling the power kick in ......................... it was an e-bike though

Something like this?

Still think it's pig-ugly, and a bit pointless, but apparently the Niken has been getting quite a bit of positive publicity.  And this can't hurt either....

Didn't look like it was that tiring to ride over the cobbles yesterday too.

Coarses for horses I guess, but not for me.

I must be a bit mad about this, I change the oil and filter every 5000 kms on all my bikes.

 

Old bikes, I use Activo on the 75 and 83 Honda as well as the KLR and Motul 5100 on the FZR.

What are you going to do with all your extra time? 

 

I sleep a bit later in the morning and the garden gets 30 mins more attention in the evening. 

 

Did an extra 20mins at the gym in the morning, then an extra 20mins of annoying my family in the evening!

Not just you, I would never wait for 10,000km. I change oil at 4,000km intervals on every bike I own or have owned. 

With you on the Motul 5100, best oil for a bike IMO

[Allrounder]

I changed my Moto Mia's oil every 5000 km. 

 

BMW service manual says oil change every 10 000km. 

 

According to that manual my fork is due for a service..... as well.

Think I’ve found my next bike!!
