« on: June 27, 2024, 18:52:56 »
Hi folks .
Newbie Strom owner here ( not new rider 16 - 64 MANY bikes n Miles )
Question - if I may ?
I take delivery next week of said 650 Strom and it has very low miles (46 ) from new . Does anyone know at what miles ? The first service needs done and is it just oil/ filter and a proper look over ?

 :welcome:

The service would consist of basically an oil and filter change and a good check over at around 600 miles.

 :welcome2:. It sounds like you have found a perfect bike and I'm guessing it's like new only much cheaper. Well done and congratulations.  :thumb:

Reference your question, kwackboy is a knowledgeable young man, he is right. Why not change the oil and filter yourself or have the dealer do it as part of the sale, I'm surprised they haven't done it already.  :thumb:

Why not say hello in the introductions section, if you haven't already.
