Routine care

Nothing wrong? Keep it that way.

A handful of quick checks, done regularly, catch small problems before they become expensive ones.

Check tread depth (1mm legal minimum across the central three-quarters) and pressures cold.

Check tension and lube if chain-driven — more often in wet weather.

Check pad thickness and fluid level; listen for any new noise when braking.

Test indicators, brake light, headlight (main and dip) and horn before longer rides.

Check against the sight glass or dipstick with the bike level and engine warm.

Quick visual check of visible bolts, especially after any track day or off-road riding.

This is general guidance, not a substitute for your bike's specific service schedule — always follow your owner's handbook for exact intervals.
