[QUOTE="FJRBluesman, post: 701124, member: 5903"] My unprofessional HO is, 1200 miles won't harm anything. I could be wrong, but I do understand new parts, burs, etc metallic stuff in oil, but 600 miles shouldn't fry anything etc. [I]NOTE: Years ago, I bought a 1971 Toyota Celica off a guy with about 180K miles on it, he did NOT believe in oil viscosity break down etc. He used Arco Graphite back in the day, and he changed his oil about every 40K miles or so. I sold that same car (I changed the oil every 5K miles) with over 264K miles, still running strong. Just sayin'...[/I] If you'd like to do it on the road, I agree, have some method of removing the oil filter, bring a 1/2 ratchet and proper (Gen1 17mm) socket, and crush washer. You might be able to do this in the Autozone Schuckers, etc parking lot, buy one of those jugs that you drain oil into and can seal up. Many auto parts stores will take your used oil, check first. Good luck in what ever you choose, and ride safe. ;) [/QUOTE]
