I just bought a used 2007 CB900 with 1,200 miles on it. The owner had the oil changed at 800 miles by the dealer. He said he changed it a couple of time since. He sold because he could not ride due to health problems. I believe him. Even if it has been more than a year since the last oil change, is it necessary to change the filter?
New used bike, old filter

Thanks to all for the responses. For witson01, thanks for responding. Is there a reason you think the filter needs to be replaced. The only thing I can think of is to get all the old oil out.

im just a big believer in replacing the oil/filter when you get any kind of used vehicle, even a motorcycle. its more of a peace of mind kind of thing. i had a similar situation when i got a gixxer 1k. when i changed the oil and filter i was surprised at how much smoother it changed gears and ran. the bike only had under 1000 miles. so it didnt really need a change but it was worth the money to me. i always ran amsoil oil and filters.
