Motorcycle common parts maintenance cycle
Release date:2023.11.16

Motorcycle wearing parts refer to parts with short service life, if the motorcycle wearing parts are not replaced in time, it will not only damage the vehicle, but also leave hidden dangers for driving safety. Different brands have different warranty periods for wearing parts, ranging from as little as three months to one year or from 3,000 km to 20,000 km. Because the damage of wearing parts is difficult to define, the warranty period is much shorter than the vehicle warranty period, such as glass, light bulbs, wipers, brake pads, etc., it is difficult to determine whether it is caused by improper use of the owner.




1. Brake pads


The replacement cycle is about 30,000 kilometers




The good or bad relationship between brake pads and the safety of people inside the car must not be ignored. The front brake pads of the disc brake motorcycle are checked and replaced every 15,000 kilometers, the rear brake pads are replaced every 30,000 kilometers, the brakes are fierce when riding, the brake pads wear faster, and the front brake pads are changed about 10,000 kilometers. Every 5000 kilometers to check the brake pads, the new brake pad thickness is generally about 1cm, when the naked eye thickness has only left the original 1/3 thickness (about 0.3cm), ready to replace. In addition, the brake disc is more wear-resistant than the brake pad, and the brake disc is replaced once when the brake pad is replaced 2-3 times.

2. Battery


The replacement cycle is 30,000km or 2-3 years




Although there is a loss of electricity during the operation of the motorcycle, the battery is charged at the same time. After extinguishing, the battery is equal to stop charging and discharge blindly, accelerating the loss of electrolyte gasification. After extinguishing, relying on battery power for a long time to maintain the operation of the sound system will also increase the burden. Generally, the original battery of a new car can be used for more than 3 years, if it has been used for almost two years, it should be paid attention to.




3. Spark plug

The replacement cycle is 10,000-20,000 km

Spark plug will lead to cold start of the car difficult, driving frustration, idle jitter, engine acceleration performance decline, lack of power, fuel consumption increase. The service life of the nickel copper spark plug is 1-20,000 km, and the service life of the platinum/iridium spark plug is 30-50,000 km. If the owner bought the spark plug, he can also clean and maintain himself or replace the new spark plug.



4. Tires


The replacement cycle is 30,000-40,000km




Tires are the most easily worn parts of all parts, touching the ground, it is easy to accident. Especially when running high speed or mountain road, there are great safety risks. The general replacement cycle is 30,000 to 40,000 kilometers, when the tire has reached the wear indicator mark, it needs to be replaced in advance. When driving, try to smooth the road to extend the life of the tire.




5, drive belt and disk chain

Replacement cycle belt 50,000km or 4 years

Because the transmission belt is a stepless transmission, the impact force is relatively small, so the replacement cycle is extended. The disk chain is 2 years and 20,000 kilometers, and the disk chain is relatively large because it is used for the gear car, so the replacement cycle should be shortened.




6, oil, gear oil

Gear oil is changed every 5000 km

When replacing, it depends on whether the quality of the oil is mineral oil or synthetic oil, the mineral oil is replaced once about 3000 kilometers, and the synthetic oil is replaced once 5000 kilometers. Gasoline filter, the external steam filter replacement cycle is 10,000-20,000 kilometers, and the oil pump is recommended to replace 60,000 kilometers. Gear oil is changed every 5000 km.



7. Air filter element

Replacement cycle one year

The time to replace the air filter is mainly to look at the external environment, under normal circumstances, the maintenance cycle of the air filter is 10,000 kilometers or about once a year, in the case of serious smog, it is best to replace it half a year or 70,000 kilometers.




8. Brake fluid

Replacement cycle 50,000km or 2 years

Expired brake fluid will emulsify and deteriorate, resulting in reduced braking efficiency and even failure. It is wrong to think that the brake fluid has not turned black and the brakes are not soft, so there is no need to replace them. Check its quality performance in time according to climate, environmental conditions, seasonal changes and working conditions, usually the brake fluid is replaced after two years or 50,000 kilometers, and it is clear whether DOT4 or DOT3 when replaced.




In SUMMARY:

Regularly checking and maintaining your car is a responsible act, both for yourself and for other road users.
