My bike is being an idiot

An* idiot. If you can mate, try fix your grammar slightly when you type. Some people are pretty anal around here when it comes to how well you type... Tough crowd I know

Anyways, I know sweet fuck all about bikes, especially their electrics. Someone can hopefully help you soon enough.

Pointless post of the day winner!!!

About 5,000k's between oil and filter changes. You are only averaging 2,600 k's a year if you do just 50 a week. So maybe do an oil change once a year? Someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

Yup.


It's a good idea to take the bike for a decent ride every week or two, get everything up to temperature, this will help evaporate the condensation off the oil and let the oil do it's job properly.
Dark oil means the oil is doing it's job. It's collecting carbon etc, when it smells burned or looks milky, you should change it and cross your fingers.

Service it anyway, if you don't know how, send me a PM and I can show you how to do all the usual checks etc.
