I have a 2001 DR-650 Suzuki, 'Duel-Sport', just over 3000 total miles. I almost sold it once, but keep it to ride with my Son. Try as I may, between work, weather, trip requirements & the rest I don't drive it much. I do plug in the battery tender at times. I put less than 500(maybe around 300) miles a year on it, using Shell Rotella 15w-40.
I usually change the oil once a year. I'm thinking this year of just changing the oil & leaving the filter in place. I would take the filter out to check & drain any oil.
Not so much for cost, but I'm thinking about putting my old filter back in. My driving has all been on paved roads, no dust. Any opinions on doing it this way, compared to putting in a new filter? Thanks.
