Motorcycle Repair Tips for Newbies

Motorcycles offer you the perfect ride whether you’re running errands or going on long-distance trips. They also offer you freedom and thrill besides an economical way to commute. No wonder riders are always keen to take an extra step to ensure that their motorbikes are in good working condition. However, even the best-kept vehicle is prone to occasional issues and motorcycles aren’t an exception. At Revolutions Power Sports in Grand Forks, North Dakota, we know a thing or two about maintaining a bike, and so we have put together this guide for you. Keep reading and head to our dealership if you need to get your motorcycle serviced by our experts. We happily serve our customers in Fargo and West Fargo, too.

Maintain the Tires

Your bike’s tires keep you stable on the road and affect the way your vehicle rides. Therefore, you must make sure that the tires are always in good working condition and that the right pressure is always maintained. You may want to use a tire pressure gauge to check your tires before airing them up to the manufacturer’s recommended levels.

Promptly replace worn-out tires as they can lead to accidents. For help to get them replaced, connect with our service department.

Change the Oil

If the oil in the filters appears sludgy, know that it’s time for an oil change. If you put it off, you may notice issues with the clutch. So, to avoid this, you must change the oil and use the one that specifically meets your motorcycle’s needs.

While you are changing the oil, you’ll also want to change the filters. Clogged filters make the throttle less responsive and affect the overall performance of the bike. If you notice metallic filings in the oil, seek professional help immediately. This can be a sign that the engine parts are grinding together.

Chains, Shafts, and Belts

Clean the chains and belts regularly to keep them functional. Lubricate and tighten them to make sure that they are just right for a perfect ride. If you notice any signs of rust, you’ll want to replace them.

When to Get Professional Help

If you aren’t sure that you’ll be able to handle the repairs yourself, it’s better to leave it to the professionals. Rather than risking damage, connect with our service experts and let them service your motorcycle to get it going. Call our service department to schedule an appointment. We can offer you plenty of services including accessory installation, motorcycle storage, and tune-up services.

We hope these tips will help you easily repair and maintain your motorcycle. If you are ready to look for your first or next model, check out our collection of motorbikes for sale in North Dakota. We also welcome our friends in Fargo and West Fargo.
