About 1/2 year if you keep your air filter clean and oiled.

Bikes that just sit need oil changes too! Acids build up in the oil and you need to get them out of your engine periodically, even if the bike isn't being ridden often. I would say change at least every 3 months even for a bike that isn't ridden often.

My oil change intervals vary depending on the bike and riding conditions, but these are average:
450R 2-5 hrs.
Z400/400EX 10 hrs.
All my other bikes 20 hrs.

What kind of oil do you guys use? I need to change my oil but wondered if there was a better choice than yama-lube.
