Dual-Sport Bike Maintenance

A dual sport motorcycle is a great machine if you seek adventures on some of the roughest terrains but, at the same time, love speeding on an open road. When using such a vehicle, it is crucial to keep a close eye on its condition and provide timely maintenance to prevent breakdowns in the middle of nowhere where there is no cell phone service. The tires of your dual sport bike are subjected to much more intense abuse when you travel on gravel roads, so you’d better check the state of your tires before going off the beaten path.

The chain and sprockets suffer from accelerated wear when operating in mud and getting blasted with flying rocks, so regular cleaning, lubrication, and adjusting chain slack is necessary. When going on a long ride into the wilderness, it is recommended to take chain adjustment tools with you. Don’t forget to check seals for leaks and change final drive oil according to the maintenance chart. Clogged up or bent engine cooling fins reduce engine cooling efficiency, so it is recommended to keep them clean and straight. Use our excellent cleaning solutions, including all of the necessary sponges, brushes, polishes, sprays and other supplies.

When you use your bike in a dusty or muddy environment, pay extra attention to its air filter. Take a spare air filter with you when going on a lengthy journey.
