Vertu Motorcycles Aftersales/Servicing FAQ
How often should you service your motorbike?
Broadly speaking, you should aim to get your motorbike serviced once a year. However, if you cover a high volume of miles, it may be beneficial to get your motorcycle serviced every six months.
Manufacturers have different recommended service intervals for their models, so it's always best to check your owner's manual for the specific recommendations for your motorbike.
What does a full bike service include?
There are a number of options when it comes to motorcycle servicing, these usually include: a full service, an interim service, or in some cases, a major service.
One of the most common types is the full service. This is a comprehensive inspection of your bike, that includes:
- Engine check
- Brake check
- Chassis check
- Tyre check
- Suspension check
- Oil and filter change
- Road test
How often should you change motorcycle oil?
This will depend on a number of factors, such as the bike you have and how frequently you ride it. It's not recommended that you change your oil any more frequently than you have your motorcycle serviced. We advise to travel no more than 6,000 miles without changing it.
When you get your motorcycle serviced at Vertu Motorcycles, we will check your fluids and top them up for you.
How long does a motorcycle service take?
Typically, you can expect a motorcycle service to take around two and a half hours to complete.
