25. Oil – this always brings up some interesting discussion
(important but… big yawn) Don’t change it regularly and
see what happens. Read this Article and this Article
and make up your own mind but you probably should follow
the manufacturer’s recommendation donchathink?

There is a lot of useful information at the Intruder Alert Café
for the Suzuki Intruder Cruisers and the people who frequent
this site are both knowledgeable and helpful.
Where do you think I found (ripped off) most of the stuff posted above?

All other helpful answers are $1.00 each; dumb looks are still free.
