I might chime in on this one. 
Hope I havent come in late or missed something, but I've always been taught 
that fresh oil in an engine is cheap insurance. In Australia the quoted service 
intervals are 10,000kms for the Sprint, the highest of any bike on the road. 
You can do this if you lke but, changing the oil and filter every 5,000kms or 
more often at about $50 per time is a very cheap way of keeping the internals 
clean and moist and happy and ensuring the longevity of the engine. 

When you consider that a rebuild will cost somwhere in the realm of $5,000 
(Oz dollars) or more, fresh oil is a very attractive way to go.

Any thoughts?
