I've heard that in order to evacuate the metal shavings that are left over from the manufacture of the engine the oil should be changed after only twenty miles. Granted, this is in reference to big bore motorcycles so does this rule apply to something like the burgman?

It can, I did my 650 @ 150 miles and found shavings, some mechanics feel All motors are that way.

The are posts in this forum RE this subject.

I have more info under breakin under the burgman 400 section.

That's why the first mintainence is at 600 miles, instead of at 3000 miles. 20 or even 150 miles might not be enough for all of the shavings, casting flash, etc... to come out of the engine. I'd stick to the 600 mile schedule.
