1,000km service








After 5 months of local riding mainly to the mosque, a few runs to the mechanic, mother's house, here and there, my Bobber get's the first 1,000km service. Nothing dramatic to complain. The engine was immediately drained of dirty black factory engine oil and replenished with synthetic Belray SAE15W-50. Alhamduillah, my Bobber has been very reliable and I believe it will also be for years to come. 1.6 litre was poured in and checked against the dipstick as "OK" but if the whole crank case was opened then it would require 1.9litre.





Polishing day





Today, chrome parts regularly left out were given a rejunevation while stock black paint parts namely the battery compartment and the air filter compartment were given an initial rub-down with rubbing compound before protected by a layer of car polish.
