I dont mean to boast but after this weekend I currently have 7286.7 miles on my XT225 in only 7 month's 14 days of owning it. I bought my XT new in February 16th this year and rode it until my hearts content. Through snow storms (not wise), mud, rain, wind, and yes water too the bike has seen it all. About the snow storm I did decide to turn back and go home after I meet the plow truck on the road. Nobody can hardly believe it when i tell them that many miles period let alone in that short of time. This bike is great!!! and have not had any problems.
How are you guys and gals doing on your bikes? I need to know where im at.

Wow, that is a lot of riding.
How often do you change your engine oil? and what oil do you use?
I've had my bike 12 months(bought new) and have just over 2K on it.

Mornin' Bryan,
mine will be 3 years old on the 10th October and has covered over 56,000 miles, again used everyday in all weathers and has never let me down.
I drip the oil every 1,000 miles, change the oil filter every 3,000 miles and always use Putoline Sport 4 Semi Synthetic.
Fabulous machine.

I believe Reggie, you are not only top poster but top mileage champ. I have a paltry 7400 in one year of riding.
Put maybe 400-500 in the recent Silverton/Moab trip after towing it out there in my Tundra at 3750 miles. I did have the highest mileage bike out there of the XTs I checked. I think Don, from Houston, was next with something around 6200 miles.
We're having great riding weather right now. Mid 60's in the morning to 85-90 in the afternoon going home. No rain the rest of the week. Although we could use it, bikes getting quite dusty.
Wade in NW Florida Have an '06 XT225. Got it for gas and to keep miles off the new Tundra. Been riding since 14. Last enduro bike was a HD Sprint back in the early 70's. Didn't realize how much I missed the trail riding. Got a '89 Kawa KX500 recently to play with too.

Up to this point I changed it at 450, then 1000, 4000, and 7000. For the first three times i used Yamaha 15-50 full synthetic with esther but now for the last time i just used Valvoline 10-40. It is recommended for cooler temps and being it Froze outside last night i figured it was time. I have only done the filter once though at 4000 i just cleaned it the first few times. when i got the new filter it must have been revised because it was different, but still the right filter.

I've owned my 06 for only 3 months (or is that 2 &1/2?). It had 3800 miles on it from the previous owner, most of which were road miles, and I've put another 1000 on it since then (yes, sad isn't it). Only 10 miles, round trip, to work and back and I don't get to commute with it everyday (hard to pick up two kids from school without a side car, LOL). Been changing oil every 500 miles, just because I'll take any excuse to muck on the Serow! Been thinking 'bout going to Yama-mama's synthetic blend, but I've heard that will mess with my "friction zone".

I live 2.5 miles from work, so 5 miles a day, and not nearly enough long trips in my rare time off.

My 2006 has 5,200 on it I bought it 1ST of August with 2,800 miles on it.The factory tires are nearly done, thinking of the Kenda 270's . I have changed the oil twice(approx 1,000 miles)using the same oil as the p.o. Amsoil 10-40 synthetic. Will do the filter next time
