Servicing Your Bike

Running-In Period and First Service

There is a recommended running in period of around 500-800 kilometres for your new machine. During the running in time it is advised that the bike not be ridden above 60-70% revs for long periods of time. During the running in period also keep a visual and physical check on the bike, looking for anything loose or not working correctly. The first service is due at around 300 to 500 kilometres (depending on the manufacturer's recommendations) and the second service at 1000-2000 kilometres. These services are most important and failure to have the bike serviced at such time by qualified mechanics could invalidate your warranty if a fault occurs later. Check your servicing book or our servicing table for the exact requirements for your bike or scooter. Remember that you can book your machine in for a service at our workshops either in Wembley or Northampton, whichever is easiest for you. Gain the advantage of skilled mechanics who are experienced in working on bikes similar to yours
