How often should I service my bike in Bangalore?
Quick answer
For Bangalore city riding, service roughly every 2,500–3,500 km or every three months, whichever comes first — stop-start traffic and dust wear oil and filters faster than the manual assumes. Riders doing long commutes or delivery duty should tighten the interval further. Check your owner's manual for your model's baseline.
The two clocks that matter: kilometres and time. Oil degrades from heat and moisture even when the bike is parked, which is why a weekend bike still needs its three-month service. Symptoms that override the schedule: longer braking distance, a dry or noisy chain, rough idling, or noticeably worse fuel economy.
