Section 1
Plan around actual use
Set a date or mileage trigger for each service. Check readings at handover and return; a date alone may miss a heavily used motorcycle.
- Follow manufacturer intervals
- Record current mileage
- Review work before confirming a handover
Section 2
Keep the workshop history usable
Record the fault, work completed, invoice and next action against the motorcycle. Ask the workshop to distinguish a recurring problem from a new repair.
- Describe the reported symptom
- Keep dated service records
- Confirm readiness after work
Section 3
Review cost and downtime together
A cheap repair is not always the best outcome if the same fault keeps the motorcycle off the road. Compare repair spending with days unavailable before deciding to retain or replace it.
- Note days out of service
- Compare costs over the same period
- Investigate recurring failures
Before you put this into practice
- Manufacturer schedule checked
- Mileage updated
- Service record complete
- Return-to-service check assigned
- Repair cost recorded
Frequently asked questions
Should servicing follow dates or mileage?
Use the manufacturer's applicable date and mileage limits. Check whichever comes first and adapt inspection frequency to actual use with your workshop.
What should a maintenance record contain?
Identify the motorcycle, date, mileage, fault, work performed and cost. Include the workshop reference and any follow-up action so another colleague can continue the job.
Does FleetMoto replace workshop judgement?
No. FleetMoto keeps maintenance records alongside motorcycle information. A qualified workshop must decide what work is required and whether the motorcycle is safe to use.
Next step
Give every motorcycle a service history
Keep maintenance records with the motorcycle in FleetMoto, then review recorded income and expenses when deciding what to repair or replace.
