How often should the Jog 125i be serviced?
3 Answers
Jog 125i maintenance schedule: During the break-in period, do not exceed 4,000 RPM or 40 km. The first oil change should be done between 40 km and 300 km, along with replacing or cleaning the oil filter screen. The second service is at 1,000 km, and thereafter every 2,000 km. Reasons for car maintenance: Maintenance items and intervals are usually determined based on mileage, with the aim of achieving optimal performance and prolonging the vehicle's lifespan through regular servicing. Maintenance intervals vary by vehicle: Different manufacturers and models have varying maintenance items and schedules. Refer to the vehicle's maintenance manual for proper care and servicing. Maintenance content: Maintenance includes multiple items such as oil changes, air filter replacement, transmission fluid replacement, wear-and-tear parts replacement, tire maintenance, interior and exterior cleaning, vehicle chassis inspection, and lighting system checks.
When I first picked up the Jog 125i, the after-sales service told me that the first maintenance must be done at 1,000 kilometers, mainly to change the engine oil and filter. I've had the bike for a year and a half now, and I basically go for maintenance every 2,000 to 3,000 kilometers. If I ride less, I do it every six months. Once I forgot the time and exceeded it by 500 kilometers, and I could clearly feel the engine sound becoming rougher. Remember to check the gear oil and air filter, especially if you often ride on dirt roads, as the air filter can easily get clogged. By the way, the transmission belt needs to be replaced every 20,000 to 30,000 kilometers—don't wait until it breaks to fix it. Spending a little on maintenance saves a lot of money, after all, repairing an engine is much more expensive than changing the oil.
My experience with the Jog 125 is that following the maintenance schedule is the most worry-free approach. For a new bike, the first oil change with full synthetic oil should be done at 1,000 kilometers, and then every 2,000 kilometers thereafter, bringing new oil to the shop. The mechanic mentioned that the belt and clutch should be inspected every 20,000 kilometers. Once, my belt slipped because I had exceeded the inspection interval. Now that I ride more in hot weather, covering 2,000 kilometers in three months, I maintain it every three months; in winter, when I ride less, I extend it to five months. Actually, when the oil window shows the oil color darkening, it’s time for a change—don’t wait strictly for the mileage. During maintenance, it’s also good to have the brakes and tire pressure adjusted—safety comes first.
