Read the Owner's Manual
Your motorcycle is more than just a vehicle; it's a complex machine that requires specific care. The best starting point for understanding your particular model is the owner's manual. This valuable resource provides tailored information on maintenance schedules, part specifications, and recommended service practices. By familiarizing yourself with the intricacies of your Harley-Davidson®, you'll be equipped to provide the proper care that will keep your bike running smoothly for years to come.
Schedule Regular Service
Just like any other vehicle, a motorcycle needs regular maintenance to perform at its best. Scheduling regular service appointments at a trusted dealership like Bartels' Harley-Davidson® ensures that your bike is inspected and maintained by certified professionals. Regular service not only prevents unexpected issues but also helps to maintain the value of your motorcycle over time.
Keep Your Motorcycle Clean
It's not just about aesthetics; keeping your motorcycle clean is an integral part of maintenance. Dirt and grime can lead to corrosion and wear, potentially affecting your bike's performance and safety. Regular cleaning not only keeps your motorcycle looking great but also allows you to inspect the bike for any damage or wear that may need attention.
