My Bikes: Honda Giorno aka Vivi
I want to keep track of the cost of ownership of each of my bikes. I hope that it can provide an anecdotal example of how much it costs to own a motorcycle in Japan.
This is a living document. It will be updated as I do service and maintenance on the bike.
The Bike:
Unknown Year Honda Giorno AF70
Also known as the Honda Metropolitan in other countries.
April 1st, 2024
Odometer: 11,995 kilometers
I did an oil change. The oil was darker than I like. I didn’t have the budget or time to change it. I always used Honda G3 10W30 full synthetic. I know that it is overkill but I want the bike to run well for a long, long time.
This time I used Repsol 10W40 full synthetic “Racing“.
Next:
I bought an air filter but I have not changed it yet. I also need to change the spark plug.
