For the most part everyone puts fresh oil in their bikes when spring rolls around. Do most of you also change your primary? |

Always, but I'm a bit crazy...engine/primary changed every 2500 miles. Cheap insurance, as they say. This year I get to add brakes to the list of fluids to change, I'm only one type shy of a complete transfusion! |

I do engine oil every 3k, primary oil and spark plugs every spring. (Message edited by Mikef5000 on April 04, 2008) |

How often do you need to change your sparkplugs? do you actually need to change them every spring? |

Riding year around I change oil at 3000, primary at 6000, plugs at 10,000, brake fluid every other year. If it sits over winter it is best to change all at the start of the season. |

This may be a dumb question, but what is the reasoning behind changing it in the spring? I've heard that it has to do with condensation, but I just wanted some insight. My bike is stored in a heated garage during winter so I didn't know if I needed to worry about the condensation. |
