4 Easy Motorcycle Maintenance Work That You Can Accomplish Yourself

6/14/2021

0 Comments

​To be able to provide your vehicle maintenance yourself is always a great thing. Apart from saving money, you also get to enjoy precious time with your machine. However, most people are too afraid to do these things themselves due to the possible failure ahead. But do not worry; this guide will provide you tips on performing DIY maintenance on your motorcycle. 
  1. Oil Change
    The status of your oil will always affect the performance of the engine. To maintain good performance, change the oil preferably after several thousand miles. 

    To perform this, you need to warm up the bike for 5 minutes to lower the oil’s viscosity. The next step is to turn off the engine and position the bike standing upright. Then, remove the drain plug and the oil fill plug —letting the oil flow to the drain pan. Then, take out the oil filter. 

    Once it’s completely drained of oil, put a new filter and return the parts you removed. Then, refill with the proper amount of oil according to the manual using a funnel. Lastly, replace the oil fill cap.

  2. Air Filter Replacement
    Your bike’s air filter keeps your engine free from dirt to avoid performance issues. Most of the time, replacing the air filter is not a complex task, but it’s pretty time-consuming.

    To do this, access the air box by removing certain parts that get to it. Once you’ve accessed it, remove and replace the air filter. Lastly, return all the parts that you removed earlier. 

  3. Tire Pressure Maintenance
    Tire pressure is vital to your motorcycle’s speed and your safety as well. To check the pressure of your tires, press an air pressure gauge at the valve stem inside the wheel. Check the standard pressure of the tire written on its sidewall and compare it with its current pressure. Use an air compressor to efficiently provide the tire with the appropriate amount of pressure it needs. 

  4. Engine Coolant Renewal
    The engine coolant prevents not only overheating but freezing and corrosion as well. This vital part of your bike should always be a priority. 

To do this, access the drain bolt by removing any bodywork in the way. Then, place a drain pan underneath the engine and remove the bolt. To guarantee proper draining, remove the radiator cap. 

After the draining is done, reinstall the bolt and refill the system with the right amount of coolant through a funnel. Then, return the radiator cap and put back the bodywork you removed. 

Start and warm up the engine for a few minutes, then proceed to cut the ignition. Once it’s cooled, remove the radiator cap and observe the coolant level if it reaches the appropriate amount. If it’s not within the standard amount, adjust accordingly. 

Conclusion
You don’t have to be an expert to give care to your precious motorcycle. Also, you do not necessarily need to spend some bucks on providing appropriate maintenance. You have to be dedicated and passionate enough as a motorcycle owner.
