BigDuke, you do not need to change the oil right off the bat. Zongshen actually uses a high quality oil during assembly. I cannot remember the brand (maybe Mobil) but this was noted by Joe when he toured their factory. I'd caution you about the brakes. When I first got my bike on the road it seemed like the rear was prone to lock up and the front was like a block of wood. Over time either the brakes have improved or I have gotten used to them...I believe the former. Take a look at the CSC recommendations for the first service and just stick with that. I did really early oil changes but now think I wasted time and money because the oil analysis never showed excessive break-in wear.
