I do mine on the HD schedule, but I know folks who do theirs at 2500. My oil looks real good coming out, so I dont feel there is a need for 2500 mile changes. Besides, that would be every 6 weeks, and that would get old. (No Car)

usually every 3000 miles or twice a year. However, this year I have already changed it twice. I have had my bike out since February! Usually up to our azz's in snow but thanks to El Ninio we had a very early spring. I'll probably change it at least once more this year, if not twice. Filter as well each time. Cheap insurance.
