How Often Should You Service Your Motorcycle?
When it comes to keeping your motorcycle running smooth and safe, regular servicing is key. Whether you ride a Harley-Davidson, Ducati, KTM or something custom, sticking to a proper service schedule can save you money, boost performance, and keep you on the road longer.
🏍️ Why Regular Motorcycle Servicing Matters
Your bike goes through a lot — from high RPMs to unpredictable Aussie weather. Routine maintenance ensures:
-
Engine reliability and performance
-
Safer handling and braking
-
Longer lifespan for parts
-
Better fuel economy
Neglecting even small issues like oil changes or worn brake pads can lead to costly repairs down the line.
We always recommend following your bike’s factory service manual, especially for high-performance models like KTMs or Ducati V4s.
🔧 Signs Your Bike Might Be Due
-
Sluggish throttle or reduced power
-
Noisy chain or rough gear shifts
-
Brake squeal or fade
-
Difficulty starting
-
Fluids leaking or burning smell
