If your bike is your livelihood, regular servicing isn't optional — it's what keeps you earning. Here's a simple schedule to follow.
Every 1,000 km (or monthly for high-mileage riders)
- Check and top up engine oil
- Check chain tension and lubricate
- Check tyre pressure and tread
Every 3,000 km
- Full oil change
- Oil filter replacement
- Air filter check/clean
Every 6,000 km
- Brake pad inspection
- Spark plug check
- Full safety inspection (lights, cables, suspension)
Every 10,000 km
- Drive chain and sprocket inspection (replace if worn)
- Clutch plate check
- Brake fluid check
Why this matters for bodaboda riders specifically
Kitale's roads — a mix of tarmac, murram, and rain-affected routes — put extra strain on your suspension, chain, and brakes compared to city riding. Riders who skip services often end up paying more later in emergency repairs and lost working days.
Our advice
Keep a simple logbook of your service dates and mileage. It helps you (and us) know exactly what your bike needs, and it protects your resale value too.
