Regular maintenance is essential if you want to keep riding safely and avoid costly repairs down the line. Take it from someone who's learned the hard way.
Chain maintenance is basic stuff, but you'd be amazed how many riders neglect it. A dry chain can wear out your sprockets fast, and replacing those isn't cheap. As for engine oil? Skip a few oil changes and you're asking for trouble - overheating, poor performance, maybe even total engine failure.
Worn pads or low fluid means compromised stopping power, that's not something you want to discover when you need it most.
Plus, if you ever want to sell, a well-maintained bike holds its value way better.
Regular maintenance isn't about fixing what's broken. It's about stopping problems before they start. Grab yourself a service manual if you're not sure where to begin - whether you're doing the work yourself or taking it to a shop. Trust me, a little preventive care saves a lot of headaches later.
