How to keep the number down
- Do oil and chain maintenance on time — they are the cheapest things you will ever buy for a bike.
- Buy your own parts and pay for labour only; parts markups at shops are typically 30–100%.
- Fix small leaks, worn chain sliders and tired brake pads before they take out something expensive.
- Keep records — a documented service history is worth real money at resale.
Work through the complete maintenance checklist to see what is due next.
