It is essential that you follow the schedule in the owners or workshop manual for your motorbike. The manufacturer will have devised a schedule specific to the mechanical characteristics of the machine, it's performance and intended use, thus ensuring that the machine can be kept in tip-top condition.
Service intervals are usually expressed in terms of distance covered ( miles or kilometres ) and time. Follow the mileage or months ( whichever comes first ). Note that extending the times/mileages between services will be more costly in the end.
The service intervals for motorcycles tend to be shorter than for cars. This is to some extent because motorcycles rev to approximately twice the engine speed of cars thus subject the engine to greater stress and wear. Unlike a car engine, the engine and gearbox of most four-stroke motorcycles is lubricated by the same oil. The oil has to withstand the very high temperatures of the engine whilst withstanding the tearing action applied to it as it lubricates the gearbox. Another very obvious reason for the shorter service intervals is that many components on a motorcycles are exposed to the weather elements.
Pre-ride checks In addition to the items specified in the service schedule, your owners manual will also give a list of pre-ride checks which you should perform every time you ride the machine. Many of these are common sense, but if you get into the habbit of checking them regularly you will be able to pick up things before they develop into serious faults.
- Check the engine oil level
- Check the brake fluid level ( hydraulic brakes )
- Check the coolant level ( liquid-cooled engines )
- Check the tyre pressures
- Check that the steering and suspension operate correctly
- Check the operation of the brakes
- Check that the drive chain doesn't look too slack
- Check that the throttle grip snaps shut when you release it
- Check that all lights work and that the horn works
- Check that the stand is held securely up when retracted

When riding your motorcycle during the day, all the rider needs to use are the indicator or signal lights to show where he or she is turning, whether to the left or to the right. It is only when it gets dark, then the rider will have to switch on the headlight and tail light in order that the rider can see properly and also be seen by other road users.
An responsible rider should regularly check to make sure that all these lights are working for own safety and also for the safety of other road...

Motorbikes are stolen for the same reason that we ride them, they’re smaller and less cumbersome than cars, they’re fast and fun machines and some are worth a lot of money. Some are stolen for parts, some are stolen for a joy ride and the problem is they are quite easy to steal. If you’ve ever been out on a ride with your friends, at least one of them has tried to wheel away or move your motorbike for a laugh. Motorcycle theft can be as simple as that, especially when you hear this shoc...

Valuables mean different things to different people. It’s often hard to label something as valuable simply because the real worth of an item is not necessarily linked to its higher price. For example, a brand new smartphone is much more expensive and valuable than an old Nokia, unless there are additional factors and extraordinary circumstances to make things even more interesting. Sentimental value is definitely something to watch out when defining a specific item as invaluable, valuable o...

While group motorbike ride-outs can be a fun leisure activity, safety should always be the rider’s first priority.
Passing
Before passing a vehicle, ensure there is ample space and visibility. Keep an eye out for debris in the road, excessive wind, and other vehicles’ mirrors to avoid hitting them. Motorcyclists should always pass in the centre of the lane to avoid other vehicles’ blind spots.

You can reach your destination by motorcycle with the help of Google maps to give you a detailed route for your journey.
Alternatively, you can use GPS co-ordinates, using devices such as Garmin, TomTom and Navman. I still use my Tom Tom Rider 2nd Edition which I've had for many years and is still working well. Updating your device often is recommended as places and routes are changing all the time.

Many of us start riding bicycles as youngsters and are either taught, or quickly learn that heavy use of the front brakes can either result in the front wheel skidding out of control, or grip so harshly that you end up being tossed over the handlebars. From this often stems a fear around the use of the front brakes on a bicycle, which will often naturally follow through to motorcycle braking.
Before I get into braking techniques, the most important aspect of a motorcyclists dependency on the b...

Get an idea about the nature of the corner
While riding the motorcycle, it is better to look to the far in front and if any corner seems to be ahead, the bike rider should try to guess that type of that corner. If there is any signboard, it should be read carefully and even if there is none, it is better to have a view of the corner, as far as possible. If the corner is not clearly visible from a distance, the rider will just see that the road seems to vanish at a distance. If the outer and i...
