First 500. Oil change??
How many of you guys reccomend an oil change within the first 500 miles of a bikes life? Change fluid in all 3? I just rolled over 500 and looking for opinions. I did not change until 1000 miles on my other bike.

Time to change the oil and get all the nasty stuff out of there from the break in. I personally change all three. Some will tell you that the primary or the tranny doesn't need it. By the way, the manual tells you to change all three.
Now's a good time to start using Amsoil in the engine and possibly all three holes or a good synthetic gear lube in the tranny.

All 3 and at least start thinking about at 400 then if you are like me you'll get around to it in another tank or two of gas. Got all the stuff to do a 15K on the bench, the bike is pushing 16K but it's hot and I rode all morning so I am going to take a nap.
