u1tim4t3_w34p0n Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 dealership told me they dont have an oil filter and thats why it needs first oil change at 600 miles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ringadingding Posted July 27, 2008 Author Share Posted July 27, 2008 dealership told me they dont have an oil filter and thats why it needs first oil change at 600 miles seems a bit strange not having an oil filter, but ask a bike tuner about it and they said check your oil level as this is sometimes a problem, so i did check it and found it was well over the max mark, well to be honest it was flowing out when bike was upright from the casing of engine, so i drained some out mad bit of difference but not that much. So in all be warned your bike will be slower when out of first service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
