TIPS
There are quite a few things you can do to help look after your pride and joy, to keep it performing well and reduce future bills.

Check your engine oil every few days
- It takes seconds, oil is the life and blood of your engine, check the coolant level too, normally this can be done visually.

Check your tyres and their pressures
- It might cost 10p but should be done weekly, any splits, cuts or bulges...get it looked at.

Lube your chain
- Little and often, do it after a run while the chain is hot, the lube will penetrate better and will solidify overnight…so it won’t fling off as much. Keep your chain properly adjusted, if you don’t know how ask, it is very dangerous (and a nick) to leave badly adjusted…

…It also makes rubbish for gear changes.

Check all your lights, switches, locks, levers and alarms
- Much better sorted at home than in the car park while everyone is revved up and waiting!

Check wheel and head race bearings
- Easy with a mate to lift the wheels of the ground only takes a minute, very few people do this! Bearings only cost a few pounds…imagine the consequences if they broke up!!

Check your shocks
- Bounce your bike up and down a few times, front and rear, listen to any squeaks, graunches or clicks…there shouldn’t be any¬ Make sure the damping works smoothly.

Check your brakes
- Spongy levers, grinding noises, low pads or any general deterioration…then come on down.

Clean your bike
- Plenty of soap, hot water and elbow grease, especially in the winter months , always have a good look around your bike with a bit of a poke about looking for any wear, loose bits or anything else untoward.

All the above won’t take long and will pay dividends in the long run. If you are not sure about anything, then give us a call or pop down, if you care for your bike and check it regularly, not only will you get to know and have pride in your bike, you will certainly have more confidence and feel safer when you tackle that Ducati into a tight bend with your knee skimming the deck.
