About this course

This course takes you from never having touched a wrench to confidently performing the six maintenance jobs that keep a street or dual-sport bike safe and reliable. You will change oil and the filter to the correct torque, set chain slack and lubricate it properly, check and correct tyre pressure and tread, inspect brake fluid and pad wear, maintain a 12V battery, and run a complete pre-ride safety check. No diagnostic software or dealer tools required, just hand tools, a service manual, and habits that prevent breakdowns and crashes.
