How Many Kilometers for the First Maintenance of a Motorcycle?
1 Answers
Motorcycle first maintenance should be done within 300 kilometers. The break-in period for a new motorcycle is usually between 1500 to 3000 kilometers. A complete break-in period should be 3000KM, but within the first 1500KM, the speed should not exceed 30KM. First maintenance items: During the break-in period, similar to a new car, the maintenance items include major overhauls such as cylinder replacement and piston ring replacement. Ensuring that the first 1000 kilometers of maintenance items are properly completed will guarantee the motorcycle performs at its best and extends its service life. Oil change intervals: If the motorcycle is in the break-in period, the first oil change is generally required at 500-1000 kilometers, and thereafter, the oil should be changed every 2000 kilometers. The brand of the oil is not very important during oil changes, as long as it is genuine and not counterfeit or inferior quality oil. For genuine oils with similar prices, the oil quality is generally comparable.
