Riders often wonder whether they should spend money on upgrades or just focus on maintenance. Here’s how to decide where to invest:
When to Prioritize Maintenance
- Oil changes, chain service, brake pads, and tires should never be skipped.
- If your bike isn’t running smoothly, upgrades won’t help until it’s maintained.
When Upgrades Make Sense
- Performance upgrades like exhaust systems, air intakes, or suspension can improve power and handling.
- Cosmetic upgrades like custom paint, seats, or handlebars add personal style.
A Balanced Approach
Think of maintenance as protecting your investment, while upgrades enhance your riding experience.
