It depends on your bike and how you use it. Generally, most motorcycles need service every 5,000-10,000 km or at least once a year, whichever comes first. However, sport bikes and bikes used for track days may need more frequent service. Check your owner's manual for manufacturer recommendations, and we're always happy to help you create a maintenance schedule that fits your riding style.
Replace tires when tread depth is below 2 mm, there are visible cracks, uneven wear, or after 5 years regardless of wear. We recommend checking tire condition during every service.
Watch for these warning signs: unusual engine noises (knocking, squealing, grinding), check engine or warning lights on dashboard, decreased fuel efficiency, vibrations while riding, difficulty starting the motorcycle, fluid leaks, or decreased brake performance. If you notice any of these issues, bring your bike in as soon as possible.
We work on all makes and models of motorcycles. Our experienced technicians are familiar with a wide range of bikes, from sport bikes to cruisers, adventure bikes to vintage classics. If you have a specific bike or question about compatibility, give us a call and we'll be happy to help.
