2linby Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 I feel like a proud papa! First oil change with filter, Mazda oil drain plug and modified oil pan guard. Finally hit 1000 miles after the first month of owning the bike. Loving every mile so far. Everything is simple, Nothing is easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koth442 Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Depends on who you ask. I did one at 70 and another at 1000. Break in procedure is like choosing oil. Everyone's got a preferred method. '15 FJ09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norcal616 Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 I dumped that oil/filter the dealerships put in after they unbox em after like 10miles just to get rid of all that gunk/junk/assembly line crud out ASAP... then I changed at 500miles then every 3k miles... oil changes and oil brands and break-in methods are like trying to figure out what came first, the chicken or egg 2012 wr250f - C-class 30+ age group 2015 fz-07- Hordpower Edition-80whp 2015 fj-09- Graves Exhaust w/Woolich tune by 2WDW @120whp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did my first at 100 miles, then 2nd at 500. I wanted to be overly cautious getting all of the metal particles out but I also didn't adhere to a break-in procedure concerning limited rpm's. To each their own. ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2linby Posted March 4, 2018 Author Share Posted March 4, 2018 Sorry to start another "Oil"thread. This wasn't my intention. I put over 90,000 on my old V65 Magna with 5 to 7500 oil change intervals. My 2001 Concours had over 165,000 miles (all mine) on it with 5-7500 mile oil change intervals. I can go on, but it all boils down to what you think is best given your machine and the best information you wish to listen to. I expect to have this bike for another ten years and over 100,000 on it before I too sell it. My old changes are based on my experiences. 1000 miles was a "nice" mileage to start the process. That's all. YMMV. I plan on changing out my winter tire air to spring air on March 20th. Then Summer air June 20th at 12 midnight (Summer solstice) Should I used mountain or ocean air?

Premium Member keithu Posted March 4, 2018 Premium Member Share Posted March 4, 2018 You got 90k miles out of Magna?! You should be the one giving us advice on engine care. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member betoney Posted March 4, 2018 Supporting Member Share Posted March 4, 2018 That depends on your relative humidity and altitude. Personally I would steer clear of ocean air, too much salt and corrosion. ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
