How To Keep Your Motorcycle Running For Years

By Clayton Maske


The motorcycles of today are made better than ever. The design, materials used, and the machining of these bikes are more precise and accurate, which makes motorcycles a reliable form of transportation. With that being said, here are some tips for keeping your motorcycle running as long as possible

The three part rule to caring for a motorcycle is to store it appropriately, give it proper maintenance, and ride it responsibly. These motorized bikes should be stored out of the sun and away from the elements, such as in a garage, in the shade, or under a protective covering. Regular cleaning and waxing can protect the paint and metal.

Riders should go through a checklist before starting out. This includes actions like checking the lights, controls, fluid levels, tires, and making sure the fasteners are tight. There are service and maintenance guidelines inside the owner's manual. Motorcycle owners should keep a record of all maintenance and repairs done, and make sure to save receipts.

When riding a motorcycle it is important to ride defensively. Using the brakes and the clutch conservatively and smoothly accelerating is going to make a bike last for a much longer period of time. Take the time to go to advanced rider training in order to improve riding skills. It is important to avoid risks that could lead to accidents as well.

A very important part of taking the best care of a motorcycle is ensuring that it receives a complete servicing on an annual basis. Professional technicians have the experience and know-how to give the bike a thorough checkup that will identify issues that have the potential to become concerns, and to determine if any system needs attention.

Extending the life and functioning of a motorcycle is made possible when one keeps it protected from the elements, cleaned, and properly maintained.
