Most synthetics say you can go 5000 between changes. Sn3 is not a full synthetic, and i agree with everyone else with these hot motors I change @ 3000. I run amsoil in the motor and primary, severe 75-90 in the tranny.

Hey torch - have you had good luck with that oil combo? I changed my tranny to the SVG and it shifts alot quieter than the Formula+, and certainly quieter than the syn3, which sounded like a blacksmith beating on an anvil everytime I shifted. I am going to change out the motor and chaincase in a couple of days. Am hoping the bike runs a bit cooler (as the Amsoil folks say) because it's hotter than blazes here in South Texas and I need all the help I can get. I've been changing all three oils at 2500, but Amsoil states you can go double. That just doesn't feel right, and given the fact the Amsoil is pretty much the same price as the Syn3, it doesn't really cost any more to change it often.
