Why is it Important to Service Your Motorcycle?
Regularly servicing your motorcycle is essential to ensure safety, reliability and optimal performance. It's not just about keeping your motorcycle running, but about preventing breakdowns that could compromise your safety on the road. A good service includes essential checks that allow you to spot and fix small problems before they become critical.
Essential Items to Check During a Service
- Engine oil and filters: Engine oil should be changed regularly to keep engine components well lubricated and prevent wear. The oil filter should be changed at the same time as the oil.
- Front and rear brakes: Carefully inspect the brake pads and discs. An efficient braking system is essential for safety.
- Drive chain: Check the tension and lubricate the chain to ensure it lasts and functions properly. An incorrectly adjusted chain can affect the performance of your motorcycle.
- Tires: Check the tire pressure and wear. Underinflated or worn tires can cause loss of control and accidents.
- Spark Plug: Check the spark plug for signs of wear. A worn spark plug can cause ignition problems and reduce engine performance.
How Often Should You Service Your Motorcycle?
The frequency of service depends on how you use your motorcycle. For regular use, we recommend servicing your motorcycle every 6,000-10,000 km. However, intensive use may require more frequent checks.
