Hi Folks,
I have a 2003 Yamaha R-6 that has been sitting in my garage on a trickle charger for the last couple years. It hasnt been started in about 9 months. If I rememer right, the oil in the sump is Rotella T6 5w40 and the filter is a M1. The oil has been in there for almost 2 years and has around 300 miles on it. I was thinking about riding it to the beach this weekend, which is 120 miles each way. Should I change the oil and filter, or do you think it will still be fine to use? Money and time is really tight right now since this was kinda unplanned. Redline is 15.5k, but I rarely go over 8k. during this trip, I highly dought I would be revving over 6k since the police will be out in forces this weekend.
