Service intervals

Oils should be changed at the service interval, or once a year, whichever comes first. Also check water content of brake fluid. Change when content reaches 2%. Testers are available. See http://www.amazon.com/Brake-Fluid-T...1454780099&sr=8-1&keywords=break+fluid+tester It has two contacts that are submerged in the fluid and is battery powered.

One possible reason for some confusion is that, even though the specified service interval on all the 1-TB models since 2012 is 10,000 km (6214 mi), the "MAINT" light comes on at 7500 km (4660 mi). Why? Apparently, because the makers of the instrument cluster neglected to update the program. Same problem on my '13 and '16 Stones. I know that Italians are not noted for punctuality, but, jeesh, it's been 5 years.

Interesting. Thanks for making us aware. Do you know of a better technique without an electronic tester?
For the price of those units, I'll take my chances with what I'm using. No way I'm buying a piece of test equipment that costs more than my motorcycle!!

Every other year for me.

Same with me unless it turns dark earlier meaning the seal is probably shot on the m/c.

Modern oils have a service life much longer than most folks think. Believe me the manufactures is conservative with their service intervals.

Here's an impressive service interval. The oil specified for the new 6-sp gearbox is eni ROTRA LSX 75W-90. In addition to being API GL-4 and GL-5, it is rated by the new API grade MT-1. It contains ingredients to extend the life of seals and is recommended for heavy duty bus and truck gearboxes that go as long as 500,000 miles between changes.

I've got speed bleeders on the brakes and flush those out once a year with new dot 4. Dot 4 absorbs water really bad.
