Default How often should you change oil?!

Can someone give me a guess on how often I should change my oil in my KFX 400?

When the oil get dirty, change it.

Seriously, though....... the manual says something like 6mos or 20hrs or something like that. I generally go by when the oil gets dirty, since it will get dirty at about the recommended change...

Read the manual, change it according to what it says. "dirtiness" or color of oil is NOT a good indicator of whether it is time for a change or not.

You can't tell when you oil is dirty by visually looking at it. Change the oil often!! It's cheap considering the investment you made in your quad. I generally change mine & filter every 10-15 hours depending upon how hard i'm riding. It only takes 10 minutes..
