How long can my dirt bike go without an oil change??????



i have a 1982 yamaha xt200j and after restoring it i have ridden 189.5 miles since the last oil change...what is the approximate miles span between changes? im askin bcause its runnin a little odd...

Oil degrades over time in the engine; with condensation acids form, etc. Even with not many miles, I would change the oil annually at least.
It can go 1000 or so miles on the oil, or you can never change it and ride it until it locks up.
If it is running a little odd, clean the air filter and get a new spark plug.
Been riding and fixing my own bikes for 25 years.
I would change it every 500 miles, change it now.... oil is cheap, cheaper than a new engine anyway.....
Call Honda and ask what the service interval is. It's always operating hours and not "miles".

If you dog it out then once a day might be appropriate. If you take it to church on Sunday, then once a year might be good,

Good Luck!
Me
