Next one is at 12K mate. Every 6000km and if your ultra keen change the oil in between ;)

Congrats on the purchase and welcome :kuda:

Follow the book if you got one. If not then get one but it'll say services every 6000kl but do an oil l change in between

Best check if the 6K service was completed. Did you get the service booklet with the bike?
