Stutters when down shifting to break

Oil with 7000 miles is most likely just as good, done some Blackstone lab samples in the past with 10K miles, and bikes were driving hard and had excellent results.

The phobia most have(including me) is that for the sake of erring on the potential wrong side, and ease of operation, every 5K number, I change it.

Knowing that if I failed to replace at 5K I have plenty miles of reserve miles left

But good that you have resolved the potential gremlin.

Not to hijack the thread...but...I change oil at 5000 just because it's easy to track on the odometer. Now, for a real hijack, what KIND of oil is best to "prevent" this type of problem.

Glad it seems fixed.
