Anil Kumar said that when buying a new bike, you get information about how many kilometers for the first service in the booklet you give with the bike. Some companies recommend the first service at 750 kilometers and others at 1000 kilometers.
If a person misses the first service in the specified kilometer, then in this case, if any part gets damaged, the company can void the warranty of that part. The company may also deny service to the customer because the part is damaged due to failure to perform service at the proper time. This means that in this case you may have to pay out of pocket for the defective part.
Additionally, if the service is not performed within the kilometers specified by the company, it can have a negative impact on the engine and even cause engine damage. There are small metal particles in the engine and when you ride the motorcycle, they begin to rub and mix with the engine oil.
It is very important to remove them during the first service, otherwise the piston and many other parts of the engine can be negatively affected, thereby risking engine damage. If this happens, you will be able to understand how much it can cost to repair the engine.
