** At 600 miles change the oil (often prudent to use [[OEM]] branded oil, yes they don't actually manufacture it but there's no point in voiding your warranty over your choice in oil, ask your dealer for any clarifications on this).

** After oil change, ride it however you want. | |||
** At 2000 Miles, switch to synthetic oil. | |||
