My dad always followed the book, his brother ran the engine for all it had. Growing up my uncles dirt bikes was always a little faster. Even with the rider swapped, over the course of four different sets of bikes.
Due to oil being below the site glass I drained it as soon as I got home to see how low it was, with 1.1 miles it was already sliver colored.
Should I be afraid of what my oil might look like? I wasn't planning on having it changed until the first service. Takara has around 360 miles on her right now. Don't mean to thread jack, just curious.
