• Clean or replace the air filter after every ride to prevent dirt from damaging the engine
- Oil Changes ?
• Change the engine oil regularly, typically after every 10 hours of riding or as recommended by the manufacturer
- Oil Filter?
• Replace the oil filter with every oil change to ensure optimal engine lubrication
- Chain Cleaning
•
Clean and lubricate the chain after each ride to reduce wear and prevent rust
- Chain Tension?
• Check and adjust chain tension regularly to avoid damage to the sprockets and drivetrain
- Sprocket Wear?
• Inspect the front and rear sprockets for wear and replace them if teeth are bent, worn down, or broken
- Tire Pressure?
Check tire pressure before every ride and adjust according to the terrain to ensure grip and handling
- Tire Condition?
• Inspect tires for wear, cracks, or punctures, and replace them when necessary
- Tire Condition?
• Inspect tires for wear, cracks, or punctures, and replace them when necessary
- Spoke Tightness?
• Regularly check the tension of the spokes and tighten any that are loose to prevent wheel damage
- Brake Pads?
• Inspect brake pads regularly and replace them when worn down to maintain strong braking performance
- Brake Fluid?
• Check brake fluid levels and top off or replace as necessary for optimal braking power
- Brake Fluid?
• Check brake fluid levels and top off or replace as necessary for optimal braking power
Coolant levels ?
Check coolant levels before each ride and top off as needed to prevent overheating
Radiator Cleaning?
• Clean the radiator regularly to prevent dirt buildup that can reduce cooling efficiency
Throttle Cable?
• Inspect the throttle cable for fraying or stiffness and lubricate or replace it if necessary
Clutch Cable?
• Ensure the clutch cable is properly lubricated and free from fraying, adjusting tension as needed
Suspension Maintenance?
• Clean fork tubes after each ride and check for leaks in the seals. Regularly change fork oil based on manufacturer recommendations.
Steering Bearings?
• Inspect and grease steering head bearings regularly to maintain smooth and responsive handling
Spark Plug?
• Check the spark plug for wear or fouling, and replace it if necessary for proper ignition
