Hmm. I could have sworn the first oil change was at 600 miles, but the manual does say 300. Guess I was thinking of Japanese bikes. Anyway, I found almost nothing, including sparkles in the oil, which I specifically looked for. I changed it again at 1200 miles, and found nothing. I'm going to change it again next week at 2000 miles, and from then on follow the schedule in the book.
One thing about leaning the bike over. I leaned it over both ways, and thought I got all the oil out. I then removed the oil filter cover, and leaned it to the right to let the oil run out of where the oil filter goes. Much to my surprise (I had not reinstalled the drain plugs yet, but had moved the drain pan) a bunch more oil came out of the main drain plug when the bike was tilted to the right with the oil filter removed. So I had a mess to clean up off my garage floor. Put the plugs back, or leave the pan under the bike.
