Why Routine Maintenance Matters
Preventative Maintenance
Helps extend the life of your bike, reduces repair costs, and keeps your ride smooth and safe. Tasks like oil changes, chain lubrication, brake checks, and coolant top-ups can be done between services - or handled by a trusted local garage.
Keeping Your Bike Road Worthy
Owning a motorbike comes with freedom - but also a responsibility to keep your bike in a safe, roadworthy condition. Keeping on top of regular maintainance can also increase your chances of passing your annual MOT.
