Service intervals - do you "stretch them"
Well? Whats the general consensus on this?
Manufacturers want us changing the oil and servicing the bikes every week at their dealers. Great money making idea for them. So do people generally follow these guidelines or stretch them a bit?
For example, KTM say service the bike every 3000miles. Now thats a lot, if the bike has not been stressed (say easy highway riding) then surely it will not do any harm to do the service later?
But you see some of the bikes running in parts of Africa for example and they look like they havent seen a new spark plug in decades, and oil is something they get once a year or two...
