In my last post I preached that you should change the oil every ride. The premise is that oil is cheap, engines are expensive, so it’s a no-brainer. The same goes for keeping your air filter clean and oiled. A tiny amount of grit getting into your engine is VERY BAD. Trust me on this.
As with the oil, a few basic rules: Clean and oil the filter every ride. (Ok that was one rule, even better).

But the general rule is to clean it every time you ride.
