Run it up to temp in the spring, drain, change filter, add new. Good to go for whatever interval you feel like running.
Buell takes 20W-50. It has the HD Screaming Eagle in it now, will have Amsoil in it when I change it. It's worked for the first 11k :idk:
I will be happy if my buell runs for 11k miles :lol:

Seems a lotof people run the bike a few times durring the winter, which I have heard isnt good becasue it may not get up to temp. For guys like tigger I would think its ok since they dont realy have winter ;) but my bikes have prety much been down since november.

So far so good, but yeah, mine's been parked since late Oct.

As long as you run it long enough to make the temp gauge rise enough to where the fans come on, it should be fine. Also even if your ride is short, you could let it idle afterwards to build up temp.

This. Running it up to temp is a choice not an accident...

Unless I'm fixing something, if I'm starting it, I'm riding it. :)

bring it up to running temp (riding it a few miles/only way to do the trans is to ride)
drain/change it
