| Last year I changed the oil and filter, probably did about 300 miles then the bike went into storage for a year. During that time It was started and idled for 20 minutes probably 4 times total. Since the engine and oil hasnt had much use at all, do I need to change it now at the start of the season, or can I run it on the oil in there until November and then change it. Thanks | |

Because £20's roughly the cost of 4 Full Breakfasts Would you go in the cafe tomorrow and order 4 full plates then scrape them in the bin because you didn't get a fork straight away? | |

| It'll be fine to run for the year. Oil life is based on time on the clock, (running), and your oil sounds like it only has just over an hour on it... | |
