Like JStark says, there should be two specs for oil changes. On my Strom I think it's 2300ml if you don't change the filter, or 2900ml if the filter gets changed.
Your owners manual should give you both figures.

I try to not be a dick here very much. This rates it though, IMO. It's called common sense . If it's not safe to take your hand off the bars - DON'T. If you don't feel like waving - DON'T. I don't get all hurt when another rider doesn't wave. I usually wave, but I don't worry that the other rider is...

It has been a pretty dry and warm January so I've been logging some miles here and there. Nothing epic, but it's good to be in the saddle. I got the missing heel guard replaced, and finally got a new rubber mat for the rack to replace the one that I ripped off installing the Action Packer. I washed ...

Ear plugs are going to be your friend, no matter what you end up buying. My bike is relatively quiet, but it still gets uncomfortably loud once the wind noise kicks up. All your 2 cylinder bikes should be more or less suitable for a new rider, though the DL650 in pretty tall and the SV makes just a ...

I looked at the Ninja 500 but SHE didnt like it LOL The sport bikes just dont do it for her. I have my eye on a 2006 Vulcan 500 for $3099 at a dealer. it has 4800 miles. Seems like a good price and is in excellent condition. I seem to fit on it decently (it doesnt look like a unicycle under me !!LO...

Also, now that I think about it more, there are more styles than just cruiser and crotch rocket. JStark and I each have Adventure Tourers, which are very different from sport bikes. Just because it's wrapped in some plastic doesn't mean it's a crotch rocket. Cruisers are great for showing off how we...

Depends on her. A 650 cruiser shouldn't be anything a new rider can't handle. She's not a tiny girl, so I wouldn't foresee any real issues. If it is ultimately going to become her bike I'd suggest getting whatever she is most comfortable on, then just dealing with it for those few months before you ...

On the New Years Day ride my bike was rode hard and put away wet, and the abuse has taken its toll. I finally pulled the Strom back out yesterday to go for a ride, and I noticed that the backside of my chain is starting to rust. Also, at some point the rubber frame protector on the left side of the ...

Went for a New Years ride today with some of the guys off PNW Riders. Did the 101 loop around the Hood Canal, a familiar route. Stopped for lunch at Loggers Landing. It was the first time I've stopped there, and I can now recommend them. Twenty soaking wet and dripping riders (did I mention that it ...

V-Rod as a good learners bike? It makes more horsepower than my first truck! You might as well give someone who hasn't taken driver's ed yet the keys to a Corvette. Step one - Learn how to ride a bicycle. You need to know how to balance on two wheels. Step two - Take a Motorcycle Safety Foundation c...

I made a 300 mile ride around the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State with a guy on a Ninja 250. At no point was he having trouble keeping up, and he seemed relatively comfortable in the saddle to boot. I would have no hesitation in recommending the 250, it will take closer to a year or two than a...
