Motorcycles require just as much upkeep and care as cars. Some motorcycles might require more upkeep than others as they might be older or just have more things that need to be looked at. The Yamaha Bolt has three things that need to be looked at and monitored constantly: oil, air filter, and tires.
Changing the oil is simple, as long as you keep track of the mileage on your odometer. Most motorcycles require an oil change every 3,000 miles much like the Bolt. Something I do to remind myself that I need to give her an oil change is, writing it down on a piece of paper so that way I can just calculate ahead of time when she will be needing new oil.
Knowing when to clean the air filter is a little trickier because there isn’t a set mileage or time frame for cleaning it. That is more of a personal judgment and deciding when your air filter is too dirty and cleaning it.
Lastly, knowing when to continue to use a tire and when to change it out is quite simple. Many tires have a Tire Tread Wear Bar Indicator that indicates when a tire is unsafe and should be replaced.
