Looking after cables, levers and stands
Everything is exposed to the elements on a motorcycle, so you need to keep a watch on moving parts.
Every month:
- Check the:
- clutch cable slack. Adjust, clean and lubricate if necessary
- position and action of the brake and clutch levers. Are they exactly where you want them?
Adjust if necessary and ensure knurled adjusters are working smoothly
- Clean and re-grease the:
- side stand pivot
- clean and re-grease the pivot points if you have a centre stand.
Remember
Looking after the basic maintenance on your motorcycle is also the opportunity to check everything over visually and make sure nothing is about to fail.
