I know you guys are going to hate me but basicly I'm taking the speedmaster off the road and I don't want to spend $70.00 for 4-quarts of oil,,, the bike is at 4900 miles and I haven't been riding it much but it should get a oil change (and 5000 mile inspection) at 5000.
I see what you mean about the engine and tranny connected but as far as the synthetic thats in there now can it just sit in there and still be okay in a couple years if I don't start the bike?
