Hi all, I'm about to do the 10 000 km service on my 2006 SM 610. There is some confusion on exactly what to do. In the manuals I've located it talks about replacing the conrod. Thought this was excessive and started researching and sure enough it was a misprint of some sort. Came across a couple of posts that talked about a revised maintenance schedule that was released in the UK. Apparently the factory one was too stringent. I cant locate a copy of this though - all I have found is this: Coolant: change every 6200 miles Engine oil: change every 3100 miles Oil filter: change every other oil change (6200 miles) Oil bag filters: clean/inspect every 6200 miles Valve clearances: check every 3100 miles Timing chain: check every 6200 miles Air filter: change every 3100 miles Brake fluid: change every 6200 miles Chain: check/adjust every 3100 miles, change every 6200 miles Rear sprocket: change every 6200 miles Fork oil: change/rebuild every 6200 miles Can anyone verify this info? Edit: found it on Speedzilla: Link
I think those intervals may provide some guidance (on the more invasive issues) but I wouldn't put much stock in them overall. For example, even if I had a SM (as opposed to my TE), I wouldn't take my oil change interval out that far and certainly wouldn't wait to replace the oil filter every 6200 miles. Likewise w/ the air filter- it's easy so that should be pulled out and cleaned much more frequently than 3100 miles. Coolant also- too easy to change so why take it out to 6200. Valves- yeah some stay relatively stable but esp in the first 5K of the bike there's adjustments that often need to be made (had to do mine twice prior to hitting 4500...some don't have to touch 'em....point being it's diff. for each bike so let your ears and the bikes behavior be your guide.) Things like chains/sprockets are wildly variable- much depends on the rider/style/level of enthusiasm...inspect by sight, etc. and monitor. It's a thumper, so I'd err on the side of caution and give it a little preventative TLC to ensure longevity (i.e. I change my oil every 1-1.5K and the filter along w/ it, or every other putting that at 2-3K max.)
