What is the first maintenance mileage for a scooter motorcycle?

[MacSavannah]

Scooter motorcycles have the following maintenance intervals for new vehicles: Break-in period introduction: The break-in period requires oil changes at approximately 300KM, 600KM, and 1000KM; Post break-in period introduction: After the break-in period, oil changes should be performed between 1000KM-5000KM depending on oil quality; Mineral oil change introduction: Mineral oil change interval is 1000KM-2000KM; Semi-synthetic oil 2000KM-3000KM; Full synthetic oil 3000KM-5000KM; Recommended oil: It is recommended to use API-SF or higher grade oil.

I've been riding a scooter for three years, and the first service is particularly important. Most brands recommend doing it at 500-800 kilometers, and I went at 600 kilometers. It mainly involves changing the engine oil and gear oil, as the new engine's break-in period produces metal debris, and not changing the oil promptly can damage the engine. The repair shop also checks tire pressure, brake pads, and chain tension. If you frequently carry passengers or ride uphill, it's advisable to go for maintenance earlier. After the first service, I noticeably felt the throttle became lighter, and the engine sound became much crisper. Remember not to exceed 1,000 kilometers, or it might affect the warranty, which would be a big loss.

I was super excited when I first bought my scooter, but don't slack on the initial service. Each manufacturer has different requirements, so check the manual for the most accurate info. My previous one needed an oil change at 500 km and gear oil at 700 km. New engine parts aren't fully broken in yet, and metal particles mix with the oil—changing it early extends the lifespan. During maintenance, also check the drive belt for wear, which is often overlooked. A few riding buddies I know delayed service until 1,500 km and ended up spending hundreds on engine noise repairs. I recommend booking an appointment with the shop in advance—it usually takes just half an hour.

Every motorcycle enthusiast knows the importance of the first service for a new bike. For scooters, it's recommended to service at 500-800 kilometers, depending on your riding conditions. Use mineral oil instead of synthetic oil during the break-in period—thinner oil works better. Remember to ask the mechanic to adjust the idle screw, as factory settings are usually set too high. Last time I helped a friend with maintenance, I found dust in the air filter—catching such small issues early saves big money. After servicing, avoid aggressive acceleration; another 500 kilometers of gentle riding will make it run smoother.

My neighbor, an experienced motorcycle mechanic, told me that the first maintenance for a scooter is like a one-month checkup for a baby. He once worked on one that wasn't serviced on time, resulting in metal shavings stuck in the gears, requiring a major overhaul. He recommends changing the oil at 500 kilometers and checking for shiny metal particles in the oil. Also, the throttle cable tension should be inspected as it often loosens on new bikes. After my scooter's 700 km service, fuel consumption dropped from 3 liters to 2.5 liters. Scooters that are regularly maintained can run for ten years without engine oil leaks.
