Maintenance of Honda Street Bikes

Performing general maintenance on your street bike will also help you spot problems before they happen.

Keep your tires correctly inflated. A tire that is very under-inflated generates a lot of heat that can lead to a blow out. Tires that run too hot also wear out more quickly. The most common street bike breakdown is for tire damage.

Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time and becomes less effective. Replace brake fluid every one to two years and your brakes will perform the best they can.

Lube your chain after each ride when the chain is warm so the oil can easily soak in and get into all the tight spots of the chain.

Check your fuel filter on a regular basis and replace every 2 years.

Make sure you regularly check and keep your oil level at its HIGH or MAX level. It is best to check your oil level on the bikes center stand or when it is in a level position.

A battery only requires a little monthly maintenance to perform perfectly. Keep the battery charged to 100%, recharging when the lights dim, the starter sounds weak, or the battery hasn't been used in more than two weeks.
