Default oil change on new sportsman

bike has 10 hours and 60mile, did a oil change, new filter, drained the crankcase, and cleaned the pickup screen. going to do it at 20 hours also, i want to get all of the metal outof the bike.

do you think that it would be a good idea to change any of the other fluids early?

Oil is always cheaper that the repair shop, but I would wate to do the diff and trans after you have driven it through some water. Lets you know how your seals are preforming. I once let my 700 sit in a river up to the fuel tank for an hour while I went and got a tractor. Changed all the fluids and found no water. Left me confident about polaris seals.

i would wait on changine the other fluids and the oil for a while. you shouldnt ned to change the oil that fast. i went to 25 hrs on the first then i'll wait to the next service interval to do it again and never had any issues on any of my bikes. but thats just me.

If money isn't a concern, go ahead and change it as often as you like.
