6-Month/600-Mile Motorcycle Service Checklist
This 6-month or 600-mile motorcycle service checklist guides technicians through a thorough inspection and service. Cover customer and technician notes, vehicle identification, and arrival condition. Check lights, pegs, levers, mudguards, handlebars, mirrors, wheels and tires including tread depth, pressures, damage, spoke tension, and wheel bearings. Inspect chassis components such as headstock and swingarm bearings, and verify torque specs for front axle, rear axle, swingarm spindle, RSU bolts, and mudguard fasteners. Audit the brake system including disc and caliper bolt torque, lever force, pad depth, fluid level and condition, leaks, hose abrasion, and line clips. Validate throttle and sidestand function both mechanically and electrically. Run electrical checks, including 12V battery, DTCs, and software updates for motor controller, DBCU, main battery, reed switch, and Octo device if fitted. Note any non-warranty repairs, decide if workshop return is needed, and complete work notes, name, signature, and date.

This 6-month/600-mile RM1 service checklist (QD069) guides technicians through a thorough motorcycle service. Record VIN, customer details and notes, then inspect overall condition, lights, controls, mirrors and plastics. Check tyres to 32 PSI and tread depth, spoke tension and wheel bearings. Verify headstock and swingarm bearings, torque fasteners to spec, and assess brake pads, fluid and leaks. Test throttle and sidestand function, electrical switches, OBD, DTCs and battery housing. Adjust fits, apply lacquer to VIN if needed, and complete a test ride to confirm performance before sign-off.
