My quad only holds 600cc in the transmission and 800cc in the engine, so it gets dirty fast. I change the oil every time I ride. I change the filter every other time I change the oil.

how about the lube in the crank case how often do you change it. is there any lube better than another for this? in my case a 2005 yamaha blaster

I have a blaster, and I change it after 3 or 4 rides.  A regular wet clutch type motorcycle motor oil will work, and also like a 75w-80 or something close to that I use.

I change mine 2-4 times every time I sink my quad.  Do these extra changes make up for the time in between....LOL! J/K.  But really I only change it after sinking the quad, so it gets changed quite often.

My factory Honda service manual says to clean my air filter every 100 hours. That is CRAZY. In 100 hours it will be clogged. I change it every ride.

I'm with ya on that, I don't think they accounted for that fine Florida dust. Staying with the oiled filter though, K&N is a good name, but in FL the sand is too small.

Since I've been riding 4-strokes  ever 3'rd ride or 1 months"even if it just sits in the garage" everyride is a bit over kill even if your only race with it  4-strokes  will not break down that oil that fast just my 2cent and ways,but the air filter is every ride
Zuk 4Fiddy Lots O Stuff
Faster to list whats stock

If you all would buy two strokes, you would have to change half the oil and as everyone says they break down so often you can just change the oil with every rebuild. LOL  ;D

Change it after every long weekend of riding. Oil is cheap, rebuilding engines and replacing clutches is not.
