It was 13K Kms since the previous service and even though the service schedule was 2K Kms away, I decided to get this service done as the engine note was getting harsher under acceleration
BHPian arun_josie recently shared this with other enthusiasts:
Oil/Filter replacement service @ 1,76,200 Kms:
Work Done in this Service:
- Air filter, AC filter, Oil filter, Fuel filter replaced.
- Engine oil replaced and other fluids top-up were done.
- Complete checkup
Service Schedule Reset and good for another 15K Kms but I will be doing it little earlier
Starter Motor Issue:
Two months ago, the starter motor was overhauled because of a persistent grinding noise. After the overhaul, the issue was resolved, but it has recently reappeared. I raised this concern during the current service, and the PPS guys sent the starter motor to the vendor again for repair. It took a day, and the issue now seems to be fixed. However, I’m not sure if this will happen again—fingers crossed.
Wheel Alignment/Balancing at Madhus
Drive to Mangalore:
After the service, I drove to Mangalore and during this drive the engine note was not harsh anymore. This drive was super fun as it rained during most part of this drive. The route taken was via Hassan – Shirady ghat. A 5Km stretch before the Shirady ghat was at its worst but we were able to manage as the traffic was very less that day.
