It's fairly easy to do so people do it.
Because secretly they're ashamed they couldn't-be-arsed/arent-able-to to change the brake fluid and the coolant.

If it wasn't for this dash idleness I'd find and post the meme of the 20,000 mile fork oil being shocked at the purchase of a new loud exhaust.

Re: Oil change regardless..🤷🏻♂️
I wonder how many of the people who change their engine oil by time do the same with their fork oil and brake fluid?
Though I've used brakes with 30 year old brake fluid in them with no problems

Re: Oil change regardless..🤷🏻♂️
I seem to recall that a lot of manufacturers also recommend rubber brake hose replacement every 4-5 year, wonder how often that happens?

Probably never, my GSX-S 750 had all it's brake fluid replaced on it's 15000 mile service, the brakes felt better after the service.

Re: Oil change regardless..🤷🏻♂️
Loads of water vapour passes through the crankcase of any running engine. Suspended water being boiled out of the oil and expelled by the breather is a continuous and necessary process.
Water in engine oil in a vehicle stored somewhere damp can be a problem (eventually), but it comes from condensation on the metal engine surfaces, rather than any hygroscopic effect.

Re: Oil change regardless..🤷🏻♂️
I change my oil on mileage or every other year,which ever comes first.When I was trucking the fitters took samples of the engine oil & sent it for testing, I think it got changed when it's acid content got high.
One of my mates does the annual MOT & service on my car & when I've asked him,he says that when he drops the oil in my car it's always clean,we put that down to me doing very little short journeys & the commute was 15 miles each way so everything was always at operating temperature.I think that if you do short journeys the condensation builds up quickly & has a negative effect on things.I very rarely do a short ride or drive & never do that run the bike for a few minutes in winter thing.
How often do people change their injection hose? To my knowledge my 2008 SV650 has never had the injection lines changed.

Re: Oil change regardless..🤷🏻♂️
I changed the fuel hose on the 888 and the VFR a few years back and was glad I did. Both sets of hoses were original and had gone very brittle, but neither set of hoses had been designed for ethanol, which was the main reason I changed them.Bustaspoke wrote: ↑Mon Oct 02, 2023 9:03 am How often do people change their injection hose?

That reminds me,on the SV650 there's a small length of hose between the throttle bodies,on the forum people occasionally post about some fuel leak & this small piece of hose is the problem.So far mine's been goodmangocrazy wrote: ↑Mon Oct 02, 2023 9:17 am
