clean cover, change oil & filter, ride 500 miles (longer rides to get oil to full operating temperature), repeat oil & filter change, ride 500-750 miles (longer rides again); do another oil & filter change and ride on; I urge 2 oil changes to flush engine since there is residual oil left in pathways and areas that will not completely drain out; dilute the contaminated oil with the first oil change and dilute it even more during the second oil change; liquid cooled engines take longer to reach full operating temperatures since the coolant is doing heat exchanging which drops temperatures inside the engine and the oil...getting oil up to temps high enough to evaporate condensation & reduce/eliminate water contamination of oil; making sure crankcase breather hose is clear important to get moisture & water vapor out of engine and oil
