Why Get Your Motorcycle Serviced?

You may be wondering why you should even get your bike serviced. Even if you are pretty skilled at maintaining your vehicle, it’s still important to have your motorcycle checked regularly by a professional. Regular visits can help to extend your motorcycle’s life and allow it to operate at its full potential. You’ll be able to relax knowing a skilled mechanic is taking care of your bike!

How Often is Necessary?

Ideally, you have your motorcycle serviced at least once a year. This will ensure that every ride is as safe as possible and will also prevent small issues from turning into major (and expensive) problems. Of course, you should still keep up with some regular tune-ups in the meantime. This includes oil changes, tending to the battery, and checking tire pressure.

What Can I Expect?

There are four main levels of service that your bike may need: interim, annual, major, and full. Each level includes basic maintenance like inspecting bulbs, spark plugs, exhaust, clutches, bearings, suspension system, oil and filter changes, and tires. Most checks can be done in a day, but more intense repairs may require the shop to hold your bike overnight. The type of service you need will depend on how often you use your model and how you use it.

Interim 

This is the most basic service level. The maintenance technicians will provide a road test and a broad inspection of the motorcycle’s components. This is a good option for infrequent riders.

Annual

Annual service is for those bikes that need a little more attention. The basics will be covered and you’ll also get an air filter inspection, spark plug replacement, as well as battery and tire inspections.

Major

If your motorcycle is older with a long history of maintenance issues, a major service may be necessary. This includes a detailed history check, a valve clearance check, and a throttle body balance adjustment.

Full

If your bike is older and has sat idle for some time, it will need a full service. Fluids will be replaced and the entire motorcycle will be thoroughly examined from top to bottom. Also included in this level are cleaning and lubricating steering head bearings and rear suspension linkage, and fork oil replacement.
