I put a few miles on the bike and then changed the oil. Why not? It's only a quart and no filter. The oil that came out looked fine and the strainer was clean so this was probably unnecessary. OTOH, my RX3 came with about 20 miles on the odo, the TT250 had less than 1 mile. That makes me think the RX3 had a much more thorough examination before it was put into the crate. After a few more heat cycles I intend to check the valves too. I know that these pushrod engines are bullet proof but I'll feel better after I verify the clearances.
