I AM A PARTS MANAGER AT A LOCAL MOTORCYCLE/ATV STORE IN CARBONDALE ILLINOIS AND HAVE BEEN IN THE PARTS BUSINESS SINCE I WAS EIGHT AND AM NOW 34 AND FEMALE. IT AMAZES ME THE FACT THAT 90 PERCENT OF ALL PEOPLE WHOM OWN A MOTOR-VEHICLE NO MATTER IF IT HAS TWO OR 4 WHEELS AND AND A ATV, CAR, TRUCK OR A MOTORCYCLE.YOUR MAIN OBJECTIVE TO KEEPING ANY OF THE ABOVE IS TO CHANGE THE OIL KEEP THE AIR CLEANER CLEAN AND KEEP UP ALL OF YOUR MAINTENENCE RECORDS ON DOING THIS BECAUSE IF IT COMES DOWN TO HAVING WARRANTY WORK DONE THIS WILL BE QUESTIONED. IDEA OF CHANGING YOUR OIL AT CERTAIN INTERVALS WAS DESIGNED FOR A REASON AND IT SHOULD BE FOLLOWED FOR THE LIFE OF THE OWNERSHIP. YOUR MACHINE IS LIKE A CHILD IN MANY WAYS, YOU HAVE TO LOOK IT OVER EVERY TIME YOU RIDE IT, DRIVE IT, OR JUST START IT, TO KEEP IT IN 100% WORKING ORDER FOR YOUR ENJOYMENT AND FUN.
