Singapore-Specific Maintenance Tips
- Singapore's humid climate accelerates chain rust — lube every 500 km.
- COE renewal (PQP) requires a roadworthy inspection at an authorised workshop.
- Heavy rain causes brake fade — inspect pads more frequently during monsoon season.
- Tyre pressure drops in heat — check monthly and before long rides.
- Use MyRide SG to set service reminders and never miss a due date.

How do I know when my motorcycle is due for service?
Use the MyRide SG service reminder feature. Set reminders by date or mileage, and the app will alert you before you're overdue.
