It's winter here on Prince Edward Island ie. there's 5" of snow in my front yard at the moment. Do you guys think I should change the oil before spring, or would it be a waste of oil and filter?

I made some knee pads for my tank today. I also picked up and installed some new Biltwell grips.

Many theories on oil. If it looks ok run it shortly and change it. If it looks like shit change it now. And again soon.
Did u have the 650four decals made?
Did you clean the tank out?!?!?!?!

I started the bike for the first time today. Ran and rev'd like a charm. I believe I have a bad connection somewhere, so the next step is to clean all the connections.
