:)
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.
i would do that since i ride in water and mud but i cant cuz its to hard for me to take it off
I try every other ride, but havent in about 2 months.

Every three rides.
What's oil? :D Scary but there are some people like that out there? -Mark
every 4 rides or 200 miles
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 05 grizzly 660 say's they recomend that you do your service your oil every 300 miles

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.
When ever I feel like it needs to be changed.
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
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.

its an 01, changing the oil for the first time this weekend :-*
