You can keep up with many regular motorcycle maintenance tasks at home in your garage, but on occasion, you’ll need to visit your local motorcycle service department for help. Staying on top of maintaining your bike ensures your safety on the road, while also keeping your bike functional for many years. Here’s what to know about taking your motorcycle to your local service department.

Select a Service Department

First, it’s important to find a reliable service department nearby that you can easily visit. Many motorcycle repair shops or independent mechanics are likely available in your area. You can also visit a service department at a local motorcycle dealership, like the one here at Crossroad Powersports. Whatever option you choose, it’s important to find something that is convenient for you and capable of catering to your specific needs.

List Your Issues

Before you take your motorcycle to a service department, it’s helpful to list out the issues you’re having with your bike so that the mechanic knows where to begin. Make note of anything you’d like your mechanic to take a look at so that your problems can be addressed.

Schedule Your Appointment

Finally, it’s important to contact the service department to schedule your maintenance appointment in advance. Trying to bring your motorcycle in without an appointment won’t be practical, since the department may not have an open bay or a mechanic who’s free to help you. When you have an appointment, though, you can rest easy knowing that you’ll get the dedicated attention of a professional mechanic.
