How many kilometers should a motorcycle generally go before changing the oil?

Motorcycles generally require an oil change every 2,000 to 3,000 kilometers. A motorcycle is a two-wheeled or three-wheeled vehicle driven by a gasoline engine and steered by handlebars to control the front wheel. It is lightweight, flexible, and fast, widely used for patrols, passenger and cargo transportation, and also serves as sports equipment. Broadly speaking, motorcycles are divided into street bikes, road racing motorcycles, off-road motorcycles, cruisers, touring bikes, etc. The main functions of engine oil are to reduce friction and wear of moving parts, and to remove sludge (one of the functions of dispersants) and varnish (cleaners) from the engine. It also neutralizes acids produced by fuel and lubricant oxidation (cleaners), improves the sealing of piston rings, and cools the engine by carrying away heat from moving parts.
