Owning a motorcycle is the ultimate adventure. It creates the opportunity for epic road trips, exhilarating weekend rides, and a chance to get out and away for a few hours. While owning a Harley Davidson or other motorcycle can be a ton of fun, it also requires some work to run smoothly. To help you keep your bike in the best shape possible, the expert team from G&G Cycles of Roswell has some advice.

3 Essential Pieces of Motorcycle Maintenance 

Oil Changes & Filters

This is an obvious step for any motorcycle or car owner and neglecting it is sure to lead to issues. Ensuring your motor is properly lubricated is essential. Have your shop change your oil and filter at least once a year or every 6,000 miles, whichever comes first.

Brakes

Never let the brakes on your Harley Davidson or other motorcycle become worn out or squeaky. A motorcycle without satisfactory breaks is a recipe for disaster. Brake pads should be inspected often and replaced when they wear down. With motorcycles already being harder to see for many motorists, excellent brake function is a necessity.

Air & Fuel Filters, Brake Fluid, & Coolant

All of these items affect your motorcycle in different ways, but they have similar service intervals of about two years or 12,000 miles. If you can, schedule all of these to be addressed at the same time so you can follow a regular and easy-to-maintain schedule with your mechanic. Even after you’ve had these vital parts replaced, be sure to inspect them every so often to avoid unnecessary problems down the road.
