500 miles now, oil change?
The manual is vague, but I do know that often just after a break in period I have had to do oil changes on other bikes.

1st oil change at 6,000 miles. My last motortrike (Piaggio MP-3 500), Manual stated 1st oil change @ 500 miles. The Ryker Manual clearly specifies 1st one at 6,000 miles.
Last Fall, got a brand new RV w/Powerstoke engine. It specifies 1st oil change at 10,000 miles. The old days are GONE for the most part requiring an early oil change along with a very careful break-in period.

Every Rotax engine is run & tested in the factory before being drained for freighting & delivery to dealers all over the place. So the days of needing a specific 'run in' type oil or restricted duration for the initial owners oil are long past! First change for the new Ryker owner is now 6000 miles, any swarf or manufacturing remnants left the engine with the oil drain that occurred in the factory before it left for the dealer!

OK, sounds cool. Now when does the carburetor need adjustment?

I would, but taking out those stone tablets are a pain

I'm changing mine to full synthetic at 500 miles. Feel free to do what you want though. Now if my Ryker would just come in I would be even more happy.
