Common Motorcycle Repairs

Motorcycles are a joy to own, but when you own a motorcycle, you’re also responsible for maintaining it. Our team at Indian Motorcycles of Austin can help you keep your motorcycle running for many years to come! Continue reading to learn more about some of the most common motorcycle repairs.

Batteries

The batteries in your motorcycle are an important part of the performance you experience every time you ride. Plus, the batteries literally allow your bike to start! Battery repairs and replacements are common simply because the batteries will wear down over time.

Belts

Moving parts are also a major part of your motorcycle’s performance and the belts are a component that can commonly cause problems. Belt replacements aren’t unusual, but occasionally you only need to adjust the tension to solve any problems.

Brakes

If you ride frequently, then replacing your brake pads will be a regular part of your maintenance routine. Friction causes the pads and rotors to wear over time and the more you ride, the more often you’ll have friction on your brakes! You should inspect your brakes regularly to ensure you have optimal stopping power.

Tires

Motorcycle tires are another common repair, whether you need to patch a hole or replace them altogether. Again, the more you ride, the quicker the tires will wear down. You want to maintain the recommended tread depth and make sure your front and rear tires wear evenly.

Motorcycles are an efficient way to get around, but it’s important to maintain it well! Visit us in Austin, TX, to stock up on the parts you need or schedule your next service appointment. We proudly serve Waco and Temple.
