Maintaining your motorcycle isn’t just about keeping it looking good—it’s essential for safety, performance, and longevity. Whether you ride daily or occasionally, regular maintenance can prevent breakdowns and expensive repairs.
Daily Checks
-
Tire pressure – Always check before riding. Low pressure affects handling and fuel economy.
-
Brake function – Squeeze both levers to ensure a firm response.
-
Lights and indicators – Confirm all lights are working, especially headlights and brake lights.
-
Fluid leaks – Check under the bike for oil or coolant drips.
Weekly Tasks
-
Chain tension and lubrication – A clean, properly tensioned chain ensures smooth power delivery.
-
Oil level – Top up if low. Use the correct oil grade recommended by your manufacturer.
-
Coolant level – Especially important in warmer climates.
Monthly/Seasonal Maintenance
-
Change oil and filters – Follow your manufacturer’s interval, usually every 3,000–5,000 km.
-
Inspect tires for wear or cracks – Replace when tread is below legal limits or if cracking is visible.
-
Battery care – Check terminals for corrosion and ensure it’s holding charge.
-
Inspect brake pads and discs – Replace if pads are thin or if braking feels weak.
