We enjoy every ride, and we love our bikes. But sometimes we just forget to keep them up with a regular maintenance schedule. Motorcycle enthusiasts here in Prescott are becoming more and more aware of the importance of motorcycle maintenance.
The Basics of Motorcycle Maintenance for Safety
A well-maintained bike gives every rider a sense of security on the road or trail. For safety’s sake every bike owner needs to be on top of these steps:
- Tire pressure
- Oil level
- Steering components
- Both front and rear wheel bearings
- Motor inspection
- Suspension
- Brakes (pads and brake calipers)
- Steering condition

“Cleaning for Well-Being”
Did you know that keeping your motorcycle clean will help you to protect you on your rides. Yes, you may not have considered this, but regular and thorough cleaning will help you to spot problems you might have overlooked. Regular cleaning will:
- Enable you to see worn-out and damaged parts.
- Identify loose brake calipers.
- Remind you to clean air filters.
