Have I made a newbie oil change mistake.
07/03/16 at 03:04:59
Recently did an oil and filter change at 1000kms, and I have only just seen the rock the bike tip to get the cam bath oil out. I know that under normal circumstances it is not a big deal, but I was wondering if it is a big deal for the initial oil change, seeing that is going to contain the most crud.

Sounds like he didn't rock the bike back and forth get as much oil out of the head as possible.
Sauvage, don't sweat it. Your bike will be fine!

I'm not sure it makes any difference anyway...
You'll never get all the old oil out,.. but if you did,... you'll be having a moment of no oil in the head at initial start-up... (even dirty oil is better than none)..
So is it better to leave a little dirty oil in?...
Who knows...
I used to change my oil every 1500 miles... but now, I think that may be overkill. I'm changing every 3,000 now.
On my Sportster,... I go 5,000 miles as recommended in the manual.
I think we worry too much...

Yeah, you're ok. Think of all the old oil coating all the internal surfaces that doesn't come out.

OK thanks, I was just a bit extra nervous because the first oil change will have the most crap in it. I feel better now.

I change the filter every couple years. Oil changes itself, I just top it off as needed.

If you "rock the boat" you should pour some oil in the intake valve adjustment cover,flooding the resess under the cam lobes.
