When should you change your motorcycle oil?

Your best bet is to check your owner's manual for when to change your motorcycle's oil and which oil to use.

However, the engine may need new oil sooner, or you simply don't have the owner's manual anymore. In this case, oil change intervals depend on what kind of oil you use in your motorcycle, the number of miles, and how often you ride it.
