To begin, you’ll want to ride the bike for about five minutes just to warm it up.
With the engine off and the bike standing upright, remove the drain plug as well as the oil fill plug, letting the oil escape into a drain pan. (You may need to remove some fairing to reach the drain plug.) Also, take out the oil filter.
Once the oil is drained, install a new oil filter, put back any parts you had removed, and refill using a funnel and the proper amount and type of motorcycle oil, as specified in the owner’s manual. Replace the oil fill cap. Recycle the used oil at a bike shop or municipal facility.
If your motorcycle’s air filter doesn’t keep debris out your engine, your engine will get clogged and dirty and your bike’s performance will suffer. Sometimes the air filter is easily accessible, but you may have to remove the gas tank and other parts to get to it.
Once you get into the air box, take out and replace the air filter. Then reinstall anything you removed.
To check a tire’s pressure, locate the valve stem on the inside of the wheel, remove the cap, and press an air pressure gauge onto the valve stem. Compare the pressure with what it ought to be—that information will be written on the sidewall of the tire.
Use an air compressor to fill the tire to the correct number of pounds per square inch (PSI). Let out some air if you over-inflate. Replace the valve stem cap when done. To see how your tread is doing, check the tire’s wear indicator—a little rubber knob that resides in the grooves of the tire.
If the knob is at the same level of rubber that meets the road, it’s time for a tire replacement—a job for a professional mechanic.
You’ll want to clean the chain when it gets particularly dirty, or at the mileage your owner’s manual recommends.
When you do, elevate the rear wheel of your bike and put the transmission in neutral, allowing for easy chain movement. Use a gentle bristle brush to get grit and grime off the chain. To lubricate the chain, rotate the back wheel as you apply specially formulated chain lube.
Let the chain sit for five minutes, then wipe off the excess lube with a paper towel.
