The Raider manual recommends to change the oil every 4,000 miles. I thought that was quite a lot of miles for an air cooled bike. However, it does hold a lot of oil ... 5 qts.
Yamaha made oil changes about as much of a PITA as they could, using 3 drain plugs.
1 for the oil tank, and 2 for the engine (go figure). Also, with the chin spoiler, THAT has to be removed to replace the oil filter.
Right now I am running 20/50 Valvoline Synthetic Motorcycle oil.
I still have 2 jugs of Rotella sitting on the shelf. Debating if the 5/40 weight of the Rotella will be ok or not.
