Extending oil change frequency?

Hi being a numpty have gone over the 4k oil change by 500 miles , bike does about 300 miles per week with journeys 10 - 50 miles

Do u recon I could safely extend changes to 5k ?

Bike has done 54k so far

Probably be fine, but why not just do it now and then you have nothing to worry about?

No, you probably could but the manufacturers recommendation is ~3500, so why would you want to? Keep your future changes to every 4k, but if this once it does 5k between changes, it's not going to grind to a halt.
