Question First oil change

My BF '08 CBR-1000 first oil change is scheduled at 600 miles, how exact do we need to be on that? Will it be a big deal if it's done at 700-750 miles?

No. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

But, it's a half hour job at most. Peace of mind is great security.

I do my first oil change at around 20 miles. There's all kinds of gunk that gets shed when the bike is first run, it's best to not have that spinning around in the motor.

How does he like the CBR so far?
Is he keeping an eye on oil consumption?

Did my first on the Buell at about 150. There were a lot of metal shavings on the plug magnet.
Did the second one at about 800. Few shavings, not much though.
By the 3rd change, plug came out clean.

Then again, I didn't exactly follow the "book" break in suggestions either.

I'm going to change the GF's at about 600. I did the first 100 miles HARD and varied the rpm, so she should be good! Besides, with the coated rings and cylinders that Suzuki uses, you almost never get anything on the drain plug anymore.

& fixted fer accuracy.

I also heartily agree on changing the oil after the first few hard/heat-cycled break-in miles. There's no problem in waiting 'til 750 vs. 600 though.

There isn't all that much and what exists is caught in the filter.

Change it at 700. Is doesn't matter.

I think sportbike riders (young and dumb and full of cum) change the oil waaaay too much on bikes. Every 3k miles with full syn. is enough.

Think of the enviroment...lol

My bike's cylinder walls are ceramique coated or something.

Too bad they aren't sandpaper coated. That would make things more interesting.
