Canada/US vs. Europe/Oceania service intervals
- Thread starter kevin567
- Start date
What are seeing listed for each?
Can you be more specific about it, I'm curious to see if the service interval is half. What about the USA?
Maybe they are making an assumption based on climate??

In Europe different countries have different service intervals :
Germany :
Romania :
Germany's climate is not very different from Romania's...
Does anyone have more information regarding this situation?

the sheet called "Europe Oceania service intervals.pdf" is, like the romanian too,
for the busa gen2 from 2015 and later
the other sheet shows the gen2 from 2008-´14
suzuki changed the milage at the later sheet for europe.
here the off. 2015 maint. sheet for germnay (europe)
if the milage amounts changed with the gen3? sorry no clue
but i suppose it will be equal to the gen2´s.
the same jpg as a pdf is av. in the att.

at all - addition to the previous posting
sorry if I seem knowledgeable to arrogant but this my summed up maintenance list for gen1 & gen2
shows all really necessary work.
tightening any screws every few thousand km or checking them for looseness is sheer nonsense after my 12 years of experience.
and again the jpg as a pdf in the att.
and - all the chassis & motor belonging points of maint. at my sheet above should be followed at the gen3 as well.
its fork / swing arm etc. / motor / wheel bearings is (are) the same like at gen2.
(and my experiances over the years ´n years with other japanese bikes tell me that they all should be maintained by following my sheet, because all their off. sheets are not complete)

Suzuki added that to the maintenance schedule after some serious consultation with Harley Davidson.

Can owners from other countries report their service interval here?
It would be interesting to compare them...

How often y’all changing oil? I assumed service interval was every 6000-7500 miles. But see it’s every 3750? Seems quick. Thoughts?

For Hungary its the same as for Germany, not like for Romania.

I've checked several manuals since I last posted on this topic and they all have the same service intervals for countries in Europe at 1000 km first interval and 12000 km second, 24000 km third, etc.
Also pictures from the service manual :

You are right. My dealer said 6,000km (same as with GSX-S1000), so I assumed it was so. Following your reply I checked the Hungarian owner's manual and indeed, no 6,000 pit stop. Sorry.

For what it’s worth, the service reset mileage defaults to 7500 miles intervals for my 22 US Busa.. I changed at 600 and 3750. Just turned 4k miles today.

I hadn’t noticed untill it was mentioned. Just checked the book that came with mine recently. This year / Gen-3.
EU / UK / AU in miles…
600, 7500, 15000, 22500, 30000.
Others.
600, 3750, 7500, 11250, 15000.
Places in AU get farkin’ hot and Northern EU very cold so I’d be surprised if it’s climate related.

men (´n girls) ?
"don´t mix in mind apple and oranges" - both are fruits but with dif. tastes
the milage for oil change at the hayabusas differ depending of their "year"
´99-´07 & ´8-´14 - all official suzuki maint. tables for the busa all say every 6000 km / 3750 mi
and
at ´15 and later they moved to 12000 km / 7500 mi
thats a fact
now my guess is that the oil´s quality increased over the years and watching the identical quality in all materials of the engine
everybody should can move to that longer interval
IF
he/she doesn´t use the bike only for a mile or two to buy the bred at the bakery and return home.
THAT behavior shortens, in my view, the interval down to max the half of the old intervall of 6000/3750
to be save to get all kondens-water etc. out of engine.
on the other hand -
if one allways runs the bike for 60/40 - one run - and more , the intervall can be the 12k/8k like at the 2015´s ..
BUT
all that only at usual busas!
the turbo´s differ - there i would, safety first, change oil after 3500 km / 2000 mi to keep the oil buffered turbo axle bearing in best shape.
at least that's what I strongly recommend to my buddy with his ´01 gen1 turbo, that he runs at up to 1.2 bar / 17.5 psi at our not-speed-limited autobahn (over 340 kmph - gps messured).
