    2000 miles or thereabouts. Is that being a bit of a fanny? :eek:

    As said it's never too early but should never be late

    Do mine the start of the season regardless of mileage, 900 last year.

    That's normally when I change mine out. It was done when I bought the bike in January but from what I can see they overfilled it so I figure I'll change it now and put the correct amount in :rolleyes:

    Do mine every 2000 and then add a filter in every 4000. Only ever a problem if you don't change it.
