Lot going depend on what you can do or have it done when it comes to cost?


Change oil and tune up most will say once year, IMO spark plugs don’t go bad as often as they use to, but IMO if you want engine to last long, long time might want to change oil twice year. IMO 1100 miles plus warrants it. It’s only 1 quart of oil. The engine air cooled like lawnmower engine and is splash lub. It don’t take the stress of lawn more engine but still glorified lawn mower engine.

Air filter usually pretty clean I check mine every time I change oil and it looks like new. I think I’ve changed to twice in 8 years cause can’t really see microscopic level of dirt.

Other than checking oil level, tire pressure ( tires will loose about 1 to 2 psi month unless you have nitrogen) it should run like top. After about 4 years transaxle oil may need changed, maybe drive belt depending on how you drive it. My Yamaha 8 years old the only thing that was little worn was one tie rod end with 12K plus miles.

I sure you’ll get plenty of suggestions.
