General Maintenance Advice?

Recommended Posts

Ok, I've been riding for about 5 Months, so I'm kinda new to biking, however I've never really thought about maintaining my bike.


That was until I looked at my chain this morning and noticed it was touching the swingarm because of how loose it was. Naturally, because I don't know alot about bikes I panicked. A Quick Look in the handbook meant I had it sorted out in a few mins. Panic Over.


Anyway, after that I noticed how dirty the chain was, how dirty the forks were, the wheels, the exhaust etc etc you get the idea.


I havn't got any other means of transport to and from work so I ride in all weather.


How can I keep the bike running smoothly and looking ok through the winter months?


Help is Muchly Appreciated!

a weekly wash and lube of the chain, is essential, before riding have a quick walkround and check tyres brakes and lights, again these can be checked when washing, but its best to find any "problems" before you head out...
