It depends what you're doing with it. Just stick to the recommendations of the bike service intervals if you're doing road miles. Service more regularly if doing track days and competition driving.

A bike engine in a car has a much much much harder time than when it's in the bike. Think about how time it's at full throttle compared to when installed in the bike.

I would (and did) use full race oil and changed it approx 2k to 3k. I also fitted a magnetic shroud for the oil filter. Check how many metal particulates are in the oil of a BEC when you change it. The gearboxes get a very hard time, unless you're very good at DDC.
