Figures from Honda's SP 125 page. Free services usually cover labour; oil and parts are charged. Your service booklet has the exact terms for your bike.
Engine oil
- Grade: Honda lists SAE 5W-30 — use the grade in your owner's manual if it differs.
- Quantity: about 0.85 litre at an oil change; 1.0 litre after an engine overhaul.
- When: at the services, as your booklet says — at least once a year.
Between services
- Chain: lube every 500–1,000 km and after rain; keep the slack as marked.
- Tyre pressure: check every two weeks — soft tyres cost mileage.
- Air filter and spark plug: checked at services.
