How many miles do you ride your bike before taking it in for servicing?

I don't take my bikes in for service. I service them myself according to the recommended intervals. My 2008 uses synthetic oil and goes longer between services (5000K) than my old shovelhead (2500K).

I don't take it in for service, I change my oil between 3000 - 5000 miles (service manual says 5000), transmission and primary every 10,000 miles.

2,500 like clockwork! The manuals state 5,000 now but if you check your oil level at 5,000 you will be over a quart low. Why add? Just change it at 2,500.

I do my own services, engine oil @ 4-5,000 but if it was low on oil I would do it sooner but it hasn't been. Trans / primary 9-10,000 all synthetic here!

Usually do the 1000 and 10k at dealer but otherwise do it myself once a year or 5000 miles.
