Your Day looks like this!
Sunday
Learn how to check over your bike, fix easy faults and get the best performance.
Using the same principles as used on the emergency response bikes, we will teach you about:
- Getting the right tyre pressures in your tyres, wheel alignment, tread depth and tyre perishing
- Fuel, oil, coolant, brakes, chain wear and getting the right tension
- Checking the electrics, including lights, horns and sirens (if you have them!)
- Checking for damage
- Suspension & steering
Wherever possible, we’ll have a fully qualified mechanic on site to help fix any simple issues or flag them for you to get looked at in your own time
Come away with a FREE tyre pressure gauge & tread depth gauge to keep your bike in tip-top condition
