How often do you need to change the oil on it? My DRZ would go about 2000 miles between oil changes if I used the good stuff, 1000 with crappy non-synthetic oil.

All I ever used at H2R was fourth and fifth gear and was lucky to hit 95.

Good question - I was told 3000mi for the trans, and 1500? for the motor. But in dirt riding it was every 8hrs. I think my general consensus without leading me to a quart of synthetic every week is getting a trackday out of the motor, and then any free time in a parking lot or trail before the next trackday is what I'll run before changing it. I suppose 3 trackdays and I'll do the trans just to keep it fresh.

Problem is I don't know how far either is since it doesn't really have an odometer. The trailtech was crapping on the guy before I got it(wont read RPMs anymore), but I did see that it reads ambient & motor temps(important to me) and a general sense of mph. I say general because it has the sensor cable running to the front wheel, and I can't trust it 100%.
