Changed the oil to motul 7100 10W 50

I got a small 5 inch carplay and changed the oil at 5050 kms exactly a few kms after the second service. Immediate difference in the refinement levels, engine sound, and smoother shifting. The cooling seems better I need to test it out in chennai heat to see how it performs. Guys I think everyone of you should do this change at least after 3rd service. This is very basic and it brings a lot of difference. I am out of bike funds for now. but I am looking for more mods in future! drop me some mods that I should do that would make the experience much better!

Second service done. Review and Advice

Got the second service done in kottivakam, chennai. Went to the showroom by 11.30 and completed the service booking by 11.45. The manager suggested that I collect the bike around evening 5.30. I left the bike and came back again and collected it by 5.30 exact time. The service experience itself was good I would rate 9/10 ( coming from a hero bike of course). I would have preferred to get it serviced and taken in like 2 hours or so. Anyways, what's concerning was that I have ridden 4800 kms and the rear brake pad worn out. In the 4800 I think around 1000ish is in the city the rest of them travel. I do use rev matching and engine braking the showroom guy suggested it might be because of extensive city use but I am wondering if it's because of the lever position.. let me know what you guys think I feel like I have my foot constant on the brake lever which might be a problem.

Secondly should I switch to motul now or wait for the 3rd service?

I really like the stock handle bar but when I stand up I have a slight pressure on the handle bar, I haven't started off-road yet but would love some suggestions if I should go for a riser or AOM bar?

when can I actually change my oil to something else? after 3rd service?
