Remember that these are not automobiles and there is no filter. They are spinning about twice the speed of a car engine and since they are air cooled they run hotter than your car ever dreamed.
They are designed to do it, but they need proper oil, especially for the clutch, which is also in that oil bath.
You have bits of new engine shavings, bits of clutch compound and bits of transmission chip floating in there.
Three changes before the 1000K mark is not a bad idea.
Yes your odometer reads in KM, not miles.
BTW, my handling improved 100% when I pulled the forks and replaced the shipping oil. It was the same gray/green crap as was in the engine for shipping. Additionally, I discovered that there was 100ml in one side and 150ml in the other. They need around 200ml in each side.

Collin on 3 Petal Devils put 225 ml. Do you think that's too much?
