What
Kind of a Maintenance Schedule Should You Use Anyway?
Routine
maintenance on a motorcycle can really be divided into two parts.
The first part, which must always be performed, is done yearly.
The second part is performed by mileage ridden during the year.
| Yearly/Seasonal
Maintenance |
During
the Season Maintenance
|
- Oil
and Filter Change (if only done once that year, it is best
done in Fall).
- Thorough
< inspection of tires
(tread depth,checking or cracking of sidewalls and tread,uneven
tread wear).
|
- Regular
oil changes using a motorcycle specific oil. Recommend
every 3-4000 miles, oil filter included.
- Weekly
inspection of controls for proper freeplay, check tire pressures;
and if chain drive check slack and lubricate.
- Use
the maintenance schedule in the owners manual as a further
guide to ensure you check things that may be unique to that
bike.
