Had been thinking about changing my oil. Even though I only have 200 miles on it. Bike has seemed to run hotter and harder to shift than when I first rode it home. After reading around on Dons Motorcycle page (he suggested changing after 150 miles) I went to the store and bought everything today. Dont know if you can see it but after looking at what looked like metal shavings in the old filter I think I'm glad I did. Oil was still a nice brown, filter had definetly did its job.
