First service, 1k

[Pioneer]

Going in Tuesday for 1k service, going great so far. A lot different from my last scooter, a S1000XR BMW. Much heavier in the front end but am nearly used to it now and starting too trust it in the corners. Only put it in the fast setting a few days ago and am certainly happy with the power difference. Still a few klm to do running in.

Just finished 1k service.
- Oil change: the engine needs 5L oil!!
- Oil filter: is very short, not much filter surface compared to smaller bikes which have longer filters.
- Mechanic connected bike via diagnostic port to computer and ran engine, revved a bit up/down to check some values there.
Total cost: 80USD

Next on my TO-DO list, finishing 1600km

They used too much oil. Shouldn't be more than 4.7liter

Tomorrow I can finally start breaking in mine

1000km inspection is free in Japan. They checked everything including removing the supercharger plate and inspecting the impeller to make sure it was functioning correctly. All I paid was for the labor for oil change and oil filter, cuz I bought the good green oil that Kawasaki/elf offers when I bought the bike.

I didn’t get the inspection of supercharger.

Might have been 4.7L. Just saw 5 bottles. That’s all

I didn’t get the inspection of supercharger.

Not all shops inspect supercharger in Japan, I think some mechanics go to Kawasaki's training sight to learn the know how of the supercharger maintenance

[JonTheChron]

I thought the SC was maintenance free

I don't think it get's any adjustment, but it does need inspection, and then replacement if found bad. I'm guessing they just check end-play and look at the blades to ensure there is no damage.

First service completed. Oil & filter, supercharger inspection, all nuts & bolts checked. All good. $330 aust, expensive.
