Regular maintenance is a vital part of being a motorbike owner if you want your motorbike to stay in good shape.
Study your bike’s manual for general maintenance tasks and simple repairs you can do:
1. It’s essential for motorcycle maintenance that you treat it carefully during the first few thousand kilometres of its life.
2. Lubrication is a vital element of motorcycle care and you may need to lube the steering-head bearings, swingarm, suspension links and wheel bearings.
3. You should change the oil every 5 000 or 10 00km, depending on the model of the motorcycle.
4. Vital for safety is to ensure that the brake pads are in good condition. Replace brake pads thinner than 2mm.
5. Check the pressure and the tread of your tyres before you start any journey to make sure there are no holes, tears or any wear that could put you in danger.
