General care for the new season
Thorough maintenance of your bike's drivetrain and braking system is essential to ensure your bike remains in optimum condition. Here are important steps you should not neglect in order to utilize your bike's full potential and ensure safety.
Chain care
- Chain cleaning and lubrication: Before you lubricate the chain, you should clean it thoroughly to remove dirt and deposits. Then apply a high-quality chain lubricant to extend the service life of the chain and minimize friction. In our store, we offer special chain cleaners and lubricants that are suitable for different motorcycle types and riding conditions.
Oil change
- Changing the engine oil and filter: Regular oil changes are crucial for the longevity and efficiency of the engine. Replace the old engine oil and oil filter with high-quality products from our store. We stock a selection of engine oils and filters that have been specially developed for the needs of various motorcycle models.
Brake fluid
- Brake fluid change: The brake fluid should be changed regularly to ensure optimum brake function. Old or contaminated brake fluid can significantly impair braking performance. In our store, you will find brake fluids that comply with safety standards and ensure maximum braking performance.
Additional tips
- Regular checks: In addition to regular maintenance work, you should carry out regular visual checks to ensure that no other parts are damaged or worn.
