Another oil and oil filter change today.
It's been over 2100 miles since the last one and although the Periodical Maintenance in the book says I can go from 7500 miles to 11250 without changing it I figure what the hey, at 9300 miles and with summer coming and with the hot 110+ F. temperatures we get here I want some good fresh oil instead of some tired oil in there.
Apparently, some breaking in is still going on because both sump magnets had some steel fuzz on them. Also, a few slivers of steel were caught in the pick up screen. Probably off of the transmission dogs.
Still, breaking in or not, it's running great. Vibration is almost non existant even at 65-75 mph. MUCH better than my old Honda CX500 twin that would put my hands to sleep after a 20 minute ride.
I also changed the spark plug although the one that I took out shows no signs of wear or carbon after 7000 miles of use.
As a side note to the newcomers to the UCE, after almost two years and 9 oil changes I am still using the original O-rings that came with the bike.
When you change your oil you do not have to change those O-rings unless they were damaged while you were removing the sump pickup drain or the oil filter cap.
Remember that trying to remove them from their grooves can damage them so just wipe them and their mating surfaces clean and reuse them.
It is a good idea to wipe a little fresh oil on the filter covers O-ring to lube it while it slips into place.
