Full schedule
Intervals follow manufacturer-typical recommendations for motorcycles of this class. Verify against your owner's manual.
| Service | Interval | Est. cost | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chain Clean, Lube & Adjust | Every 500 mi or 1 mo | $15–40 | Clean, lube, and adjust the drive chain often. A dry or loose chain chews through sprockets fast |
| Oil Change | Every 3,000 mi or 12 mo | $40–110 | Engine oil and filter: this air/oil-cooled single leans on its oil for cooling, so change it often and never exceed 12 months |
| Brake Pads Inspection | Every 6,000 mi or 12 mo | $20–60 | Inspect front and rear pad thickness. Replace before the friction material reaches the backing plate |
| Tire Inspection & Age Check | Every 6,000 mi or 12 mo | $0–40 | Check tread depth, pressure, and casing age; replace tires older than about 6 years even if tread remains |
| Battery Test | Every 6,000 mi or 12 mo | $0–30 | Test the 12V battery and charging output; a weak battery makes a single hard to start |
| Air Filter | Every 12,000 mi or 2 yr | $20–80 | Inspect and replace the air filter; dusty riding clogs it faster and starves the single of airflow |
| Spark Plugs | Every 12,000 mi or 2 yr | $25–80 | Replace the J-platform twin spark plugs. Fresh plugs keep starting, idle, and fuel burn clean |
| Valve Clearance Check | Every 12,000 mi or 2 yr | $80–200 | Check and adjust valve clearances: simple screw-and-locknut on this SOHC single, but skipping it burns valves over time |
| Brake Fluid Flush | Every 12,000 mi or 2 yr | $60–140 | Flush the DOT brake fluid: it absorbs water and fades braking over time; do it every 2 years regardless of miles |
| Fork Oil Change | Every 12,000 mi or 4 yr | $90–200 | Replace the front fork oil; it restores damping and helps protect the seals on the telescopic front end |
| Steering & Wheel Bearings Check | Every 12,000 mi or 2 yr | $40–120 | Check the steering head and wheel bearings for play: cheap to inspect, expensive to ignore once they fail |
| Chain & Sprocket Replacement | Every 18,000 mi or 5 yr | $150–350 | Replace the chain and both sprockets as a set once stretched; mixing worn and new parts wears them out quickly |
