DS525X Maintenance Schedule & Torque Reference

Service cadence

• First service: 1,000 km or 3 months - whichever comes first
• Thereafter: every 6,000 km or 12 months - whichever comes first

So the official mileage milestones are 1k → 7k → 13k → 19k → 25k → 31k → 37k.

Items worth knowing about

• Valve clearance is checked only at 19k and 37k (every 18,000 km). The KEL500F tolerates this gap because it’s a low-stress 41 kW engine, but if you ride hard or hear top-end clatter, check earlier.
• Spark plugs replaced at 19k and 37k, inspected in between.
• Air filter replaced every 12k (at 13k, 25k, 37k); cleaned at the in-between intervals (7k, 19k, 31k).
• Coolant and brake fluid every 2 years regardless of mileage - this is the time-bound item that catches low-mileage owners off guard.
• Drive chain is replaced at 19k and 37k (every 18k). Lube and adjust at every other interval.

Key fastener torques

From the official “VOGE key parts fastening daily inspection” table for the DS525X.

#	Fastener	Thread	Qty	Torque
1	Front wheel axle	M18	1	75 N·m
2	Front wheel axle lock-up	M8	2	18 N·m
3	Front disc brake caliper to fork	M8	4	32 N·m
4	Rear fork axle	M14	1	120 N·m
5	Engine to frame	M10	6	45 N·m
6	Rear suspension assembly (shock, rockers, frame, fork)	M12	5	60 N·m
7	Rear wheel axle	M20	1	95 N·m
8	Chain adjustor nut (first nut)	M8	4	9 N·m
8	Chain adjustor nut (between two nuts)	M8	4	22 N·m
9	Front shock absorber & steering stem	M8	6	18 N·m

Mirror-bar bolt: 25 N·m. Rear-suspension adjusting nut: 22 N·m.

Break-in (first 1,000 km)

• 0-500 km: keep engine speed under 5,000 rpm
• 500-1,000 km: keep engine speed under 7,000 rpm
• First 200 km: low-speed cornering only - let the tire tread bed in
• First 500 km: gentle braking - new brake pads haven’t reached optimum friction yet
• First 24 hours after a tire patch: max 80 km/h

After break-in, get the 1,000 km first service done at a Voge dealer. The dealer-stamped first service is usually a warranty condition.
