Do you ride a trail bike? Whether you ride it on asphalt or dirt, your bike needs some basic care to keep it in perfect condition and provide you with all those sensations you were looking for when you saw that spectacular Honda Africa Twin at SERVIHONDA.
Tips for keeping your trail bike in top condition
One of the key points to consider when using the motorcycle in the countryside is its suspension. They are responsible for cushioning the bumps in the road, and those in poor condition can cause us to fall. Check them regularly, and if you need to, bring it to our workshop for an in-depth review.
The air filter is another point that we can forget, but it is very important for its proper functioning. If you use your motorcycle on dirt tracks, the dust raised can significantly obstruct the filter, so it is advisable to check it and change it if necessary, it is a fundamental element.
The tires of your motorcycle are the only thing that keeps you in contact with the ground, and that is why we must pay attention to them. It is important to check their condition and proper pressure, as tires with low or high pressure can lead to a bad time.
Keep your transmission chain clean and lubricated. Without a chain in good condition, your motorcycle will not give its all, and it could break and end our excursion with a good scare.
Cleaning, a “must”
Surely you have had a great time with your motorcycle, but before returning home you must make a stop that should be mandatory. Cleaning your motorcycle of dust and mud is essential to keep your motorcycle in top shape. We will avoid corrosion, the chain drying out, the paint being damaged, our suspensions worsening their performance… In general, cleaning your motorcycle will take a while, but it will give you many more moments of enjoyment riding it.
