That there - that's the single most important thing you can do to any engine, of any age or design.
Ignore the factory oil-change light, that are often set to come on at 14K miles or more. I always change my car /van oils at 5 or 6K and my bike oils at 2 or 3K.
To date, I've put hundreds of thousands of miles on my bikes and the only mechanical failure had been caused by overheating one stinking hot day in London traffic and the rings lost their tension - on stripdown, the bores, pistons, everything were perfect - on an engine that had done 180-odd Kmiles.

Many thanks for the banner

I have a couple of pc windows which went brittle and opaque after a decade, but my m'cycle windshield top (made myself) was from a different supplier of what was actually Lexan and it's fine.
