In about 300 KMs I'm going to do my oil change to synthetic (i'm going for Motul 7100 Ester 100% Synthetic) This will be my 4th oil change in 5000 KM, 1st @ 500, 2nd @ 2000, and 3rd @ 3500, this may sound unnecessary to you, but hey, it's my bike!

About cleaning the oil screen, well it isn't required you clean it, if it was, it would be in the periodic maintenance schedule. Should you clean it? I definitely would, anything that has the potential to restrict oil flow should be looked after, especially since many of you have just completed the break-in period and it's likely that your screen is full of slime (excess gasket residue, metal particles, or anything else that may of have come loose during the break in period)

Here is a DIY video on how to do this yourself:
