After my 600 miles oil change, I reset my oil light to 2500 miles.
My odometer clicked over 2800 miles yesterday.
I changed it this morning and found that the oil was nearly new
in appearance. The book is saying you can run the oil 4000 miles.
It would appear that the 650 motor is pretty easy on the oil.

I can remember the old air cooled engines burned up the oil
pretty quickly.

You can run oil changes to 6400Klms (4,000mile) if you are doing long trips (50Klms + in one go) , but short stop start trips go with every 3 months or 4-5,000Klms ...

I ran my Honda Shadow VT750 cruiser 3 months @ 5-6000Klms & I used it 50Klms each way to & from work ... @ 120,000 Klms when I traded it the oil still looked clean when drained ...

Hey Greg,

Why did you let the 650 go. Like the 250 better? Just curious.

It was stolen by a low life ...

A low life, Yes, but at least one with good taste.
Hope your insurance covered it
