My take is it is extra important to do the low milage oil changes on a bike with the K&N conical filters on the back of Keihin FCRs as is the case with the cNw bikes. Also important to clean and re-oil those K&N filters on a street bike.I don't use a Comnoz recommended engine oil or a motorcycle oil, I use Lucas high zinc hot rod oil, but I change both the engine oil and gearbox oil frequently. Never a puff of smoke out of my engine. AMC gearbox is another story. One too many rides home in my youth with a busted clutch cable is hard on a gearbox. I'm lucky it still shifts at all. It has been apart, no broken gears, but a finicky shifting box. Not looking for gearbox advice. I'm replacing it.
