My "new" 2013 CB has 380 miles.

It sat on the dealer's floor for 2 years and has the factory oil in it.

I am headed for a 600 mile trip in two days. The oil in the sight glass looks clear.

Should I change my oil in anticipation of passing 600 miles this week, realizing that the oil has been in the bike for 2 years? Or should I just change it when I return home a little over 600 miles.

I appreciate any thoughts and advice.

Thank you

Headed to the white mountains.

George
