My Super-T's owner's manual states engine oil change requirements based on both mileage (4 kmi) & time (every 6 months). I own several bikes so I have only averaged about 2500 miles/year on my Super-T. In my part of the country, where mileage goes down in winter months, the 6 month requirement seems excessively conservative. I normally like to change oil/filter at end of fall riding season, & would likely put less than 1000 miles on it before Spring, and another change then seems wasteful & unnecessary. I do all of my own maintenance, & would not normally buy extended warranty but I got a deal I could not refuse on YES warranty extension for 4 additional years (5 total). So I am wondering: Has anyone ever had a warranty repair turned down because of failure to meet the every 6 month requirement? I asked a dealer service manager, & he said no. He said its there only to protect against folks who are extremely negligent, and end up with sludge.
