I need to change my oil BAD!! I have been lazy. How is the clutch lubed?? I have noticed I've been popping out of 2nd gear more often. Does my oil change have anything to do with it?

on silkolene race i changed it at 4000... I could have gone longer based of the fact that my clutch was still smooth. When i changed it i seriously thought about putting the used stuff in my truck since it felt like it was barely used. My truck gets the mobile 1 treatment. It didnt even change color much... Still had a red tint when draining. I cant stand going any longer to change my oil even though it is race synthetic. on the regular suzuki oil i didnt go more than 2000 miles before my clutch was getting clanky... I love silkolene.

I change oil and filter every 1000 to 1200 with silkolene Race 10-40
I dont like the thoughts of clutch material being carried through my motor
by the oil even if the filter should trap it Ilike it clean

it cost $12 a liter, i do change my filter everytime instead of the suzuki reccommended everyother oil change.
filter-$15
oil-$36+$12 (1 extra to top off since the filter was changed)
That get way too expensive if u change it at that mileage
every 1000-1200 Miles....Thats crazy dude....what do u do with ur bike?????

1000-1500 for me. only on my second change right now so I'm still running semi synthetic to let it finish seating everything in. after that I'm gonna go the same mileage with full synthetic

I'm probably closer to 3,500-4,000 miles, or about twice a year in between changes with mobil MX4T.
You street guys that change it every 1000 miles are nuts. But to each his own :thumbup:
