Does bike with low milage need oil change?

I bought a Monster 797 (2017) in Sept 2020 and it was at 1000km (600 miles in the US). So the seller did the 1000km maintenance (with a oil change) just before selling it to me. I stored the bike for the Winter at about 2200km. Do I need an oil change when I start the new season in April/May although the manual says 8000km?

It’s probably not the end of the world if you don’t but it sure as heck won’t hurt anything. I bought my 797 about the same time as you. It had about 500 miles on the oil change. I put another 2500 miles or so on it before winter and did the oil change in late November. More than anything I wanted to just get on the change before winter schedule.
