How you ride or drive
Brake pad wear depends entirely on how you use the brakes, which is why the range runs from 15,000 to 30,000 km. Stop-start city traffic reaches the near end of that; steady open road reaches the far end.
SERVICE INTERVAL REFERENCE
How often does each part of a vehicle actually need replacing?
Engine oil every 5,000–10,000 km. Brake fluid every two years whether you drive or not. Below is every component RideCheck tracks, grouped by how often it comes due — the same figures the app counts down against.
The intervals RideCheck ships with, for every component it tracks.
Every interval, by how often it comes due
Sorted the way the question is usually asked — not by which system a part belongs to, but by how soon you will see it again.

On the calendar, not the odometer
4- Wiper Blades

Why most of these are ranges rather than numbers
A single figure would be easier to print and worse to rely on. Three things move an interval inside its range, and only one of them is the vehicle.
Some parts age instead of wearing
Coolant stops carrying heat away long before the level drops, and brake fluid absorbs water from the air whether the vehicle moves or not. For those the interval is time, and a vehicle that sits still is not exempt.
Whichever countdown ends first wins
Tyres carry both: 40,000 km or five years. That is not two alternatives to choose between — it is two countdowns running at once, and the one that finishes first is the one that matters.
GETTING STARTED
Set it up once. It keeps itself current.
About five minutes, and your motorcycle or car is tracked from then on — every component, every service, every kilometre.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Common questions about service intervals
If your question is not here, the app is free — the fastest answer is usually to try it.
Every 5,000 to 10,000 km, and it is the single most-missed service. The oil filter runs on a slightly longer cycle at around every 10,000 km — skipping it is the usual reason fresh oil goes dark within a week. Both are also counted in months, so a vehicle that barely moves still comes due.
