5 Reasons to Service Your Motorcycle Before Winter!

Keep your bike in peak condition with a winter motorcycle health check at Lings Powersports – available in Harleston and Norwich.

As the colder months draw in, many riders think about parking up the bike for the season — but before you do, it’s worth booking your winter motorcycle service. A pre-winter check not only protects your motorcycle through the harsh weather but also ensures it’s ready to go when spring arrives. At Lings Powersports, our fully equipped workshops in Harleston and Norwich are ready to give your bike the care it deserves.

Here are five key reasons why you should service your motorcycle before winter:

1. Prevent Winter Damage

Cold, wet, and salty roads can take a toll on your bike’s components. Corrosion can creep into metal parts, electrical connections, and exposed cables. A winter motorcycle servicing at Lings includes checking seals, lubricating moving parts, and applying protective treatments to help your bike resist the elements.


2. Protect Your Battery and Electrical System

Cold temperatures are tough on batteries. If your motorcycle sits for long periods, a weak battery could fail completely. During a motorcycle health check, our technicians will test your battery, charging system, and electrical connections to ensure everything’s performing correctly. We can also recommend battery maintenance solutions to keep your bike charged all winter long.


3. Maintain Optimal Tyre and Brake Performance

Tyres harden and lose pressure in the cold, while brake components can seize or rust if not properly cleaned and lubricated. At a Lings workshop, we’ll inspect your tyres for wear, check pressures, and make sure your brakes are in top condition — giving you confidence and control no matter the weather.


4. Keep Your Engine Running Smoothly

Changing the oil before storage removes contaminants that can cause internal corrosion. A full Lings winter service includes an oil and filter change, coolant check, and inspection of key engine components to make sure your motorcycle starts first time after the winter break.


5. Be Ready for That Unexpected Sunny Ride

Winter doesn’t have to mean the end of your riding season! On those rare bright days, you’ll want your bike ready to go. Regular servicing ensures your motorcycle is always safe, roadworthy, and ready for action — without last-minute worries.
