Always check your oil level before riding!! I noticed level decrease slightly below full within 8 hours of use follows transmission whine, just add 200ml and whine is gone. I recommend changing oil every 10-12 hours.

What you guys think? I mean manual say's change oil every 25 hours

i've been adding the extra 200mL when i change my oil. i just changed it like 2 days ago, but havent rode it since cuz i dont have tires or front shocks on it right now. but, the "whine" go's away for a little while for me after adding the extra 200mL, but then it comes back again.

also, in addition to the oil level, keep check on the coolant level.
i had my front fenders off the other week to fix my ignition and i noticed that the coolant was below the "low" level...

I change my oil before every race , If there are no races for a few weeks I change it after every 3 rides.

I have never had a problem with low oil....Well that's not true, I was missing a valve cover bolt when I bought my quad...not Suzuki's fault btw...dumb arse owner before me.....
