Martin Insurance Team wants you to enjoy riding your motorcycle around Evergreen Park, IL and the rest of the state, so we want your motorcycle to last. Regular maintenance reduces your need to file claims. It can also help insure that when you need to file a claim due to an accident because of wear and tear contributed to the damage, insurance will not pay.
1. Install a rear stand if your bike did not come with one. They will help you if you need to work on the drive chain or bike tires.
2. Like owning a car, you need to change the oil regularly to protect the engine from overheating and part wear and tear.
3. At each oil change, check for leaks.
4. Check the tire pressure before you ride. Fill the tires to the appropriate PSI.
5. Change the tires when the wear indicators show it is needed.
6. Insect your brakes, checking the brake pads and fluid. Also, check for leaks.
7. Check your bearings since that could be what you are hearing if you notice an extra rumble when you ride.
8. Lubricate your drive chain and make sure it is tight. The lubrication keeps it from binding up.
9. Check your headlights and brake lights. Make sure the bulbs burn brightly and check the housing for cracks.
