If you’re a bike lover, you know how important it is to keep your bike in great shape. So, when you need your motorcycle serviced, look for a mechanic who knows his stuff.
Motorcycle maintenance includes replacement of fluids, filters and adjustments of controls, chains or belts. It also involves inspecting engine components such as valves and spark plugs.
Repairs
The cost of owning and maintaining a motorcycle can be surprisingly high. However, if you know the right costs, you can keep your bike running safely and smoothly for years to come.
Most manufacturers suggest service intervals, which depend on the type of motorcycle and riding conditions. Maintenance includes replacing fluids, filters, and spark plugs, as well as checking valves.
Typically, sport-type motorcycles use inline 4-cylinder engines and need service every 4,000 miles after their initial service at 600 miles. Dual-sport motorcycles have a single cylinder engine more like a dirt bike than a sport-bike and need service every 3,500 miles after the initial service at 600 miles.
Cruiser-type motorcycles use a V-type engine with cylinders coming off the engine at an angle. Maintenance for these is similar to that of sport-type bikes and includes replacement of fluids, filters, spark plugs, and throttle synchronization.
Maintenance
Keeping up with maintenance for your motorcycle is important, not only to preserve the bike and make it last longer, but also because it keeps you safe while riding. Ignoring regular maintenance for your bike will not only shorten its life, it will also cause the bike to fail while you’re on the road and put you in danger.
Thankfully, there are a few basic things you can do to keep your motorcycle running well and safe. If you follow these tips, you’ll be able to enjoy the on-road thrills for years to come!
Engine oil and coolant are two fluids that you should regularly change. This will help to prevent the engine from overheating and keep it running smoothly.
