Do you really think the particles that do pass by the air filter can contaminate your oil that much in 1200-1800 miles that it could cause severe damage to the engine???
Change you air filter and oil as stated in the service manual, and you won't have any problems. If you do wanna change your oil at 600mi or less because you rode a few times in the rain or rode on some dusty roads-go ahead, it your time and money.
Yes, dirt in micro sizes will cause engine wear and cause premature wear on internal components.
There is not a set mileage you should change your oil, the manual will state a mileage and this is in average driving conditions. That is why I stated you need to check your oil, color and smell then make your decision and that depends on your budget. Even more so with a small engine such as a GY6 that doesn't use a paper oil filter to catch micro size dirt. a few bucks for a good quality qaurt of oil is cheap engine insurance IMO.

1200-1800 miles equals to a lot of RPM's. Lets say an average RPM of 6500 RPMS. 30MPH average speed. 30/1800= 60
60 hours of runtime
6500RPM X 3600 = 23,400,000 rotations of the crank X for each piston stroke up and down x2= 46,800,000 times.
Thats an average of 468,000,00 times your piston travels now add some small particles of dirt grinding on the cylinder walls where the rings seal?
I never stated cause severe damage immediately, premature wear is the key here.
