Also depends on type of bike.

 

My rule for 2 stroke kup racing is change EO every 3 months. Apparently this is quite a 'normal' interval for typical road use. Never complained even if I didn't change for 6 mths.

 

My rule for old Phantom is play by ear because she's a prissy mare and will yell loudly at you for using old EO/never check oil level weekly, etc. Also because I buy this bike to run at max power & play with settings DIY so change every 1500km with motul cheap oil. Which is tofu smooth but shears down really fast. But cheap! Good!

In general servicing for bikes are pretty low, so it's better to do the servicing more often rather than less often.

 

Technically you can run fully synthetic EO till about 5k on most bikes, but it never hurts to change your EO earlier. I change mine every 3k on fully syn.

 

Usually doesn't cost more than a 100 for most brands. IMO maintenance is not something you should stinge on.
