Both my Hondas say in the Owners manual that the recommended oil change interval is 8K.

And that's fine. It's just easier to remember every 5k. Besides I can hear a difference around 5k, shifting becomes more clunky. So I'll stick 5k, you and the owners manual can change at 8k.

I am still old school and even though some go 8K on oil changes, per the recommend in the manual, I prefer to change at 4500/5000 miles...Seems to shift better and I feel better!!!....Ride safe

LOL! Yeah, ya can't get away from "oil & tires" on a motorcycle forum.

Here's another thought. I see that you separated "boxers and Wings" into different categories. I know exactly what you meant, but the Flat 6 of the Wing is actually a boxer. It just has more "fists" flying back & forth.

'true enough, at least these are not aimed directly at you shins! I actually love old airheads
and Guzzi's as well. My shins and knees, however, are not found of them at all.

I did not say what interval I go by. I only stated a fact.
