Service Advice and Cost
The frequency you should get your bike serviced will vary depending on the frequency you ride it. However, if you spend loads of time apart from your rig (like over a year or so), it does not mean it won’t require any attention throughout this entire period.
In other words, to ensure your bike is running smoothly on your next ride there’s a few things you should consider when it comes to servicing, regardless of the frequency you get on the saddle.
As a general rule of thumb we like to recommend having your bike serviced at least once every six months, and logically decreasing the service intervals the more frequently you ride it.
