Once a year or at the mileage shown in the owner's manual which looks like about every 5000 miles.

I just put Mobile 1 V-twin in mine and it is much happier than whatever was in there before.

I do it once every 10k miles, which is the scheduled interval according to the 2008 owners manual.

The 05 *R manual looked like it wanted it every 5000. Funny thing was I spent 10 minutes flipping through my 03 9R service manual to see if I could find a chart of service intervals and didn't run across it. Thought that info should have been in the first chapter where they talk abut the normal maintenance procedures.

Greg - 2003 owners manual says every 5000, same as the service manual, page 1-3.

I change it every time I change the motor oil, every 3K.

Same here...its only a quart, and only takes a little extra time.
