| You and your motorcycle—owning a BMW or Triumph motorcycle is all about reliable riding time of course! You have invested in quality fun, so we have invested in the tools and the techs to make sure your riding days are long and enjoyable. Please review our suggested scheduled maintenance intervals and inspections listed below. |
| PLEASE NOTE: These are "General Suggested Maintenance Intervals"—you should consult your Rider's Manual for the exact schedule, as it varies by Make and Model.
//General Maintenance Intervals - BMW and Triumph//
The [600 Mile BMW Inspection/500 Triumph] allows us to check for proper 'Running-in' of your BMW or Triumph. Oils are changed and numerous items (ABS sensors, brake fluid, tire condition, etc) are checked. This is an important first step in your maintenance schedule.
The [6,000 Mile BMW Service/6,000 Triumph] is performed at or about 6,000 miles and each additional 6,000miles (i.e.12k, 18k, 24k 36k, 42k, etc). Reading the Motronic computer, bleed testing the ABS, valve check/adjust and verifying a vehicle history are just a few examples of items performed in this service.
The [12,000 Mile BMW Inspection/10,000 Triumph] should be completed at or about the 12,000 mile mark and each additional 12,000 miles thereafter (i.e. 24k, 36k, 48k etc). At this inspection we check suspension (Telelever etc), check/replace the fuel filter, check you battery acid level, check wheel bearings, verify smooth throttle operation and perform a host of other final safety and operations checks.
An [Annual BMW Service] takes into account elapsed time, as well as the distance you and your bike have covered. An Annual Service ensures that maintenance items, not carried out during a regular Service or Inspection, are performed at least once a year as a matter of prevention (e.g. replacing brake fluid to protect ABS corrosion). ***The service items listed above are just a sampling of items performed in a comprehensive Service, Inspection or Annual. They may not pertain to all models. We would be happy to review the schedule for your specific BMW or Triumph. | |
Before every journey, you should check the following...
Your BMW is a valuable piece of engineering and it is responsible for your personal riding enjoyment. If you look after it properly, it will reward you with great performance at all times. This is why BMW has devised these tips—to help you get maximum enjoyment on the road.
//Lights//
Check that all your lights are functioning properly, i.e. high and dipped beam as well as rear and brake lights. Even though we only use components of the highest quality, they are still subject to wearing. Of course, when you bring your motorcycle in for servicing, all lights are checked that they are fully functioning. But just to be sure, you should always check that all your lights go on before setting off on a journey. |
  
|
  
|
//Air//
Maintaining the right tire pressure is one of the most fundamental factors in ensuring a high level of road performance. It is important to take into account your driving style as well as load and luggage conditions. The appropriate air pressures for your tires can be found in your motorcycle's handbook.
|
//Oil//
Not only is oil the lubricant that ensures that your engine literally runs smoothly at all times, but it is also a coolant. This explains why it is very important to ensure that your engine, gearbox and drive train contain the right levels of oil. Too much oil can also be disadvantageous, because the oil pressure in the engine, for instance, has been calculated for a particular amount of lubricant. |
  
|
  
|
//Controls//
Your hands control the clutch and one brake while your feet are responsible for changing gear and operating the other brake. You should therefore frequently check all four levers to make sure they are functioning properly.
With foot-operated levers in particular, a slight misalignment is generally not noticed straightaway. This is often due to the boots that a rider wears, which make it difficult to sense when something needs adjusting. Many BMW models come with adjustable levers that can be set to suit your personal requirements. Be sure to use this function, and you will see that it rewards with enhanced fun on the road. |
//Helmet & Clothing//
Your motorcycle clothing should be purpose designed, whether for quick trips into town, longer distance tours, or even a spell on the race track—safety is of paramount importance. So don't forget to choose the right clothing to suit your intended purpose.
And remember also that no matter how well you look after your clothing, eventually, its age will catch up with it; this applies in particular to protectors and helmet shells, which need to be replaced more frequently due to the nature of their materials. When materials are too hard and brittle, they are more prone to breakage and can no longer offer the level of protection that they could in their prime.
|
  
The next thing to check regularly is that the upper materials of your protective clothing, such as leather and fabric, are in good condition. Functional clothing also needs regular maintenance, otherwise the internal membranes will soon lose their active breathing properties. |
  
Your clothing should not only offer protection against the weather, but also at least a minimum level of fall protection; it should have protectors fitted to the appropriate places and, above all, it should be non-wearing. Interesting ideas on this subject can be found at the BMW Motorrad website in the Riders Point section. |
//Weather//
Please be sure to adapt your riding style to suit the weather conditions. Don't forget that your tires (as well as your engine) require a certain operating temperature to be able to function at their optimum level, when they will unfold their maximum grip capability. Furthermore, you should select the right clothing for the expected weather conditions. It is important that you are neither too hot nor too cold while you are out on the road.
