I just changed my oil and filter at 550 miles. I saw no evidence of metal shavings at all. I used the Rotella T6 and a Mobil filter. I was just a tad skeptical about using the same oil I use in my Dodge Diesel, but man, what a difference. I took it out for about a 150 mile ride after the oil change, and about 50 miles in, the engine really felt like it was freeing up, and the transmission shifted more smoothly almost immediately.
I have no real earth shattering info here, but have any of you experienced something similar after the first oil change?
On a side note, I'm considering making a long ride from here to Knoxville soon. The seat needs some attention for a long ride like that. I have read that Corbin doesn't have their act together with a seat for the FZ8, and Sargent doesn't list one on their website. Are there any other options?
