He has the right idea, I've done exactly that, many times and my bikes run great, the last time I serviced my SV650S, I did a leak down test just for the hell of it, and it has 2% Leak down! awsome. I change my oil and filter at 20 miles, 50 miles, 250 miles and 1000 miles, then every 1500 miles. Never a problem and they live a hard live!

It is cheap insurance, you should see the valve train on my 1978 KZ650, it looks brand new at 75K miles.

I am a motorcycle mechanic, so it is easy for me, by the way, was your starter problem with a Virago? Just curious.
