Our team at Brookfield Indian Motorcycle® can help you complete regular maintenance! Continue reading to learn about common tasks you can tackle for general upkeep and preventative maintenance.

1. Tire Care

The tires are one of the most important parts of your motorcycle when it comes to safety and performance. How they’re aligned and how much they’re worn can have a major impact on how well your motorcycle rides!

To care for your motorcycle tires, you should regularly check the tire pressure and overall condition of the tread and sidewalls. Any signs of uneven wear or damage should be addressed immediately. Refer to the owner’s manual for exact guidelines for air pressure and tread depth.

2. Engine Care

The engine is also high on the list of components that need to be well cared for. A fine-tuned engine will perform the best and increase the longevity of your motorcycle. Your engine care routine should include regular oil changes, filter changes, and cleanings. At least once a year you should also have your engine serviced and inspected by a certified technician.

3. Electronics

The electronic systems in your motorcycle are also imperative to the overall safety and performance of your motorcycle. Newer models especially are designed with advanced electronic systems that control functions and features. You can have a technician run diagnostics on the electronic components of your motorcycle if you’re worried about any performance issues or have noticed any problems.

Paying close attention to these three areas of your motorcycle will help you maintain its performance and like-new condition! Visit us in Brookfield, CT, to learn more about our parts and service departments. We serve the Danbury area.
