Was having too much fun the first 1000 miles, so I did not change the oil @ 600 miles, doesn't look like it hurt a bit. I know it's a different bike, but my Goldwing's first oil change was called for @ 4000 miles, and that analysis came back fine. I did not break this one in lightly. Not a bunch of redlining, but I did do my best Valentino Rossi imitation for several hours, with virtually no highways. Great bike. When I got the bike home after the 30 mile ride home from the dealer, I checked the oil, and it took about 1/8 qt. to get it to the full line. I filled it with some petroleum 10w-30 I had laying around.

** This Motul 5100 smells GREAT, like it has cologne in it.

You mentioned being a little late on this oil change, but we don't really see any negative affects from that. There
is quite a bit of bronze wear here (copper, lead, and tin), but we're probably looking at normal wear-in considering this is factory oil. Silicon is just harmless sealers washing out. You can expect improvements next time, even if you run a little
longer. The viscosity is in the 10W/30 or thin 10W/40 range. No
fuel or coolant is present and the oil filter kept
insolubles low. No obvious problems found in this new engine.
