Bike Maintenance?

[kylemcadamm]

Hi guys, so I recently got my first bike, a Yamaha MT-03, love it by the way! Took it out this morning as the weather was lovely and I had the most fun! Just need a riding buddy lol

Anyway to my question, I was just wondering if there is any maintenance I should do my self and how often I should do it, appreciate all your answers, cheers guys.

Ideally you should always carry out a pre ride inspection before going out, also you should have an owners manual which will give you details of periodic maintainence, but usual maintainence will be checking and oiling the chain, checking tyre pressures, checking the engine oil, brakes,lights etc

Get the Haynes manual, it has a Maintainance schedule in the front of it

Hello and Welcome

A few important things to check, oil level, is there oil in the sight glass? Is the chain dry or slack? Tyre pressure, is it low or is there anything stuck in the tyre? Are the critical bolts tight, like brake caliper and axle bolts? Are your brake lights coming on and going off properly? Is the headlight working? That's what I check before I set off in the morning. Might sound like a lot but it's not, only takes a minute while the bike is warming up

Have a read through your owners manual https://www.yamaha-motor.co.th/docs/owner-manual/commuter/en/mt-03-en.pdf?Status=Master&sfvrsn=ba911a2f_4

If you want more info have a read of the workshop manual https://www.moto4.ru/downloads/yamaha-mt-03-service-manual.pdf
