Maintaining a motorbike is an essential activity to timely detect any malfunctions in order to promptly fix them, thereby helping the vehicle operate reliably and minimizing costs during its usage. In this article, we will provide you with detailed information on maintaining the Winner X motorbike, specifically what needs to be done and how much it costs.
What needs to be done to maintain the Winner X motorbike?
Oil change, oil filter replacement
The first thing to do when maintaining the Honda Winner X motorbike is to change the oil. Engine oil is an important component that vehicle users should pay attention to changing periodically. Engine oil plays a role in lubricating and cooling the internal operating parts, so after a certain period of constant operation, the lubrication and cooling quality of the engine oil will gradually decrease and become ineffective.
Regular oil change ensures a stronger and more durable Honda Winner X performance
This is the time for vehicle users to change the oil to ensure that the internal parts of the engine are adequately lubricated. The oil change interval will vary depending on the type of oil and its cost. Typically, regular engine oils need to be changed every 1,000 – 1,500 km of operation, while some synthetic or higher-grade oils can be used up to 2,500 – 4,000 km. In addition, the oil filter should also be replaced every 6,000 km.
When choosing lubricating oil for the Winner X, users should choose fully synthetic oil to ensure that the Winner X operates reliably and powerfully, with long-term usage.
Coolant replacement
In addition to regular oil changes, Winner X users should also pay attention to the amount of coolant inside the water tank of the vehicle. Due to its high power, the Honda Winner X engine generates a considerable amount of heat, so it requires coolant to facilitate better heat dissipation. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that the vehicle has enough coolant to dissipate engine heat efficiently.
Coolant also needs to be regularly checked
Specifically, vehicle users should check the coolant level after approximately 7,000 – 10,000 km of usage. If the coolant is found to be reduced, it should be refilled. In case the vehicle operates hotter than normal, the entire coolant should be replaced.
Chain cleaning and adjustment
The chain is an important mechanical component on the motorcycle that users should pay special attention to when maintaining it. Chain maintenance is quite simple, users just need to clean the chain with a specialized cleaning solution, then use a chain lubricant to spray into the chain links to prevent link wear. The Honda Winner X does not use a chain cover, so users should not drip excess oil onto the chain to avoid oil splashing onto their clothes when using the motorcycle.
Cleaning and adjusting the chain also improve the longevity of the vehicle
Additionally, the chain tension should be adjusted properly to avoid it being too tight or too loose, which can cause chain breakage or noise and poor response during usage. For the front and rear sprockets, users should also pay attention to the thickness of the teeth and replace them in a timely manner.
Air filter cleaning
There is a component on the Winner X that users seldom pay attention to, and that is the air filter box. After a period of usage, users should check the vehicle’s air filter. If it is too dirty, it should be replaced to ensure optimal airflow into the combustion chamber, avoid dust entering the combustion chamber, and thus affect the vehicle’s performance.

Spark plug inspection
After a period of usage, the spark plug can become worn out, resulting in weak and uneven sparks, which can lead to throttle failure or increased fuel consumption. Therefore, users should check and replace the spark plug every 10,000 km.

Brake inspection and replacement
To ensure safety during vehicle usage, the brakes are components that require special attention. The brake pads will wear out over time, so users need to check if the brake pads are almost worn out to replace them in a timely manner. Replacing the brake pads will improve the effectiveness of the braking system, and avoid situations where worn-out brake pads scratch or deform the brake discs, resulting in poor braking performance.
