Performing a motorcycle engine service involves a comprehensive series of checks and maintenance tasks to ensure optimal performance, safety, and longevity of your bike. Here's a detailed breakdown of what's typically involved:

Engine Maintenance 

1.     Oil and Filter Change
Regular oil changes are crucial for engine lubrication and performance. Use the manufacturer-recommended oil grade and replace the oil filter to ensure clean oil circulation. Check engine for oil leaks.

2.     Spark Plug Inspection and Replacement
Worn or dirty spark plugs can lead to poor engine performance. Inspect and replace them as needed, ensuring the correct gap and type are used.

3.     Air Filter Replacement
A clogged air filter restricts airflow, affecting engine efficiency. Replace it regularly, especially in dusty conditions, to maintain optimal engine performance.

4.     Coolant System Check
Inspect coolant levels and hoses for leaks. Flush and replace coolant as per the manufacturer's schedule to prevent engine overheating.

5.     Fuel System Inspection
Check fuel lines for leaks or blockages. Ensure the fuel filter is clean and replace it if necessary to maintain proper fuel flow.

Chassis and Brake System

1.     Brake Inspection
Examine brake pads for wear and ensure brake discs are clean. Replace pads if worn and clean the braking system components to maintain effective braking performance.

2.     Chain Maintenance
Clean, lubricate, and adjust the chain tension to ensure smooth power delivery and prevent premature wear.

3.     Suspension Check
Inspect front and rear suspension for leaks or damage. Ensure proper damping and adjust settings for optimal ride comfort and handling.

4.     Tire Inspection
Check tire pressure and tread depth. Replace tires that are worn or damaged to ensure safe handling and grip.

Electrical and Miscellaneous Checks

1.     Battery Maintenance
Test battery voltage and ensure proper charging. Clean terminals and check for corrosion to maintain reliable starting power.

2.     Lighting and Electrical Systems
Verify that all lights, indicators, and electrical components are functioning correctly. Replace any faulty bulbs or components to ensure visibility and safety.

3.     Control Cables and Levers
Lubricate and adjust throttle, clutch, and brake cables for smooth operation. Check levers for proper movement and replace if necessary.

4.     Fastener and Structural Integrity
Inspect all fasteners, including engine mounting bolts, for tightness. Check for any structural issues or signs of wear and address them promptly.

DIY vs. Professional Service

While some basic maintenance tasks can be performed at home, such as oil changes and air filter replacement, more complex procedures like valve adjustments or brake system overhauls are best handled by professionals. Always refer to your motorcycle's owner's manual for specific maintenance schedules and procedures.

We recommend that all services are done by a reputable company like us to avoid common mistakes such as using wrong oils or missing vital signs that your ride is not performing as well as it should.
