Hello all,
I have a quick question. At 6900 miles my 2012 Vulcan Nomad 1700 had an oil and filter change with Amsoil oil. The bike now has 9600 miles on it. Mileage wise I know I shouldn't need an oil change, but the bike has been sitting since November because of the weather. Today I got the bike out of my little storage area and was wondering, oil change or no oil change? I did not start the bike once while it was sitting and today I put the battery in it and it started up like I rode it yesterday.
What do you guys think? Should I get an oil change or am I good to ride for awhile and get one once I put more miles on it?
Normally I would just change the oil myself and be done with it, but I'm currently living at an apartment with no garage and working night shift. Changing my oil in the middle of the night in the dark in my apartment parking lot does not sound like fun. The dealership said it will cost around $100 for them to do it.
Thanks for any help!
