I have 200 Miles on the sled from last spring,should I changed the Diamond Drive oil
There is no sign of leak's

If you're looking for something to do and need some bonding time with the sled, sure, change it. Otherwise just ride the thing.

Best time for an oil change is right after the last trip in the spring to get all the moisture out before sitting all summer.

I would

I think with the heating and cooling from summer to winter you would definitely have some condensation and collect moisture in the oil.

Just my 2 cents

It's a piece of cake and the 3 oz oil is about $6 - 7 bucks. May as well do it.

No sir. It's the reverse model and needs 12oz. Still only $13 from cat or BDX.

You might as well change it. Alot can happen over the summer. With that being said. I just talked my buddy into changing the oil on his 05 M7 THAT HE BOUGHT NEW in 05. We dumped it out and it was bllllaaaaaaaaack.

My bad I was thinking the sled was an m-7 for some reason.

I would.

I changed mine just last night. I also had a NEW (to me sled) which supposedly had hte oil changed about 100 miles ago (and before summer) Just for fun I drained some to look and it was cloudy *** black as gunk gets. Methinks it was loger than 100 miles ago. But meh...its new now!

For 15 bucks, and after hearin horror stories of the DD, I'd feel better on the safe side.

Plus, it gets ya away from the woman and in the garage for a quick beer!

Same sled, almost same mileage at 260. Changed oil yesterday after riding it in April last season after buying new. The oil was black, don't know if that's a bad sign or not, but I would assume there is more wear during the first couple hundred miles during break-in and the oil should be changed.
