Regular checks keep your motorcycle safe and dependable.
Weekly: check tyre pressure and condition, lights, and indicators.
Monthly: check engine oil level, brake fluid, chain tension and lubrication, and coolant where applicable.
Periodically: replace engine oil and filter, inspect brake pads, check sprocket and chain wear, and verify battery health.
Keep a service log and follow the manufacturer's service schedule.
Safety Notes
If you notice anything unusual — unusual noises, reduced braking, or warning lights — have the motorcycle inspected before riding.
