Quick answer: A good weekly routine is: clean and lube the chain, wipe down and protect exposed metal, check tyre pressure and bolts, and freshen your helmet. Ten minutes a week prevents most wear, noise and rust.
Weekly (10 minutes)
- Chain: if it looks dirty, clean it with a chain cleaner, then re-lube with chain lube. A clean, lubed chain is the single biggest factor in a smooth, quiet ride.
- Wipe-down: a quick wipe keeps grime from building up on metal and paint.
- Helmet: wipe the visor and freshen the interior with a helmet cleaner.
Monthly
- Deep-clean the chain and inspect for rust or stiff links.
- Protect exposed metal (bolts, hinges) with a maintenance spray, especially before/after monsoon.
- Check tyre pressure, brakes and cables.
Why it's worth it

Frequently asked questions
How often should I lube my chain?
Every 300–500 km, or after any wet or dusty ride.
Do I really need separate cleaner and lube?
Yes — cleaning removes grit, lubing protects. Using them together makes the chain last much longer.
How do I stop my helmet smelling?
Wipe the interior regularly with a skin-safe helmet cleaner and let it air-dry.
