I changed the oil before I started the bike for the first time then I did it again after the first 20 miles then at 120 Ill do it again at 500. At that stage you can go 1000 miles between changes. Some folks start using Synthetic oil at 500 miles. This is what I plan on doing.

Its true that that oil with additives gets into the plates and makes them slick so the clutch slips. You can use synthetic if its free of additives. Its best to only use oil rated for a wet clutch. After brake in I plan on using rotella synthetic.
