Tyres
Motorcycle Tyres Sold and Fitted at Portway Motorcycle Specialists
We understand that the quality of your motorcycle’s tyres has a huge impact on the vehicle’s excellence overall. That’s why we pride ourselves as motorcycle experts who will be able to find and fit the perfect tyre for your bike. Not all motorbikes are made the same, which is why our specialist mechanics will be able to determine the perfect tyres for your bike, depending on its make and model. We’ve been working on motorcycles since 2006, so you can be sure there is nowhere else in Andover that will offer a more informed opinion.
Keeping Your Tread Deep and Prices Slim
When it comes to your motorcycle’s tyres, there is one aspect that stands above the rest, and that is the tread depth. Those grooves in your tyres are responsible for the tyre’s grip on the road, which is even more important when you only have two tyres instead of four. The legal tread depth for all motorcycles over 50cc is 1mm across ¾ of the tread pattern with visible tread on the remaining ¼. If your tyres are looking slightly bald and are approaching the limit, it’s time to book your motorcycle tyres in Andover at Portway Motorbike Specialists.
Motorcycle Tyres and Wheel Alignment
Unlike a car’s MOT, your wheel alignment is tested during your motorcycle’s MOT. This means you could face an MOT failure if your wheels are misaligned. Leave it with our experienced technicians to ensure that your motorcycle’s tyres are perfectly aligned to keep your beloved motorbike safe and road legal. Whether you need new tyres, a wheel alignment, or both at the same time, get in touch with us to save yourself the worry.
Brakes
The brakes on your motorcycle are one of the most important safety features of your vehicle. It is important they are always in perfect condition. That’s where we come in – motorcycle experts with a passion and enthusiasm for all things motorbikes. We will be able to test your brakes and tell you when the discs and pads need replacing and do so for a reasonable, competitive price. Don’t leave your brake replacement until the last minute – if you’ve noticed a difference in your braking power or any peculiar squealing sounds coming from the brakes, get booked in to see us today with one of Andover’s leading motorcycle specialists.
How Do I Know I Need To Replace My Motorcycle Brakes?
It is recommended by motorcycle experts everywhere that your brake pads need to be replaced every 20,000 miles. However, this can differ from rider to rider, so always consult a trained mechanic if you are unsure. Your brake pads will need replacing once they are worn down to around 1-2mm in thickness – at this point, they are approaching a dangerous level. Our expert motorcycle mechanics will be able to offer professional opinions on when your brake pads and discs need replacing.

Exhaust
Your exhaust is an incredibly important part of your motorcycle. Without it, your engine would not be able to work – that’s why it is important that if you suspect you have an issue, you should get booked in with us at Portway Motorbike Specialists where our motorcycle experts will be able to diagnose the problem. Whether it’s a small hole that needs filling or a completely new exhaust fitting in Andover, you can be sure our mechanics will do it for the best possible price.
Signs Your Exhaust Needs Some Attention
There are a number of signs your motorcycle will give you to indicate an issue with the exhaust, and you’ll usually hear them. If your exhaust is roaring and louder than usual, you may have a hole. Rattling sounds could suggest something has come loose. A chugging noise could indicate a blockage within the exhaust system, and a tinkling sound might mean you need the silencer looked at. Either way, our expert mechanics will know exactly how to diagnose the problem, and more importantly, how to fix it. If any of the listed noises sound familiar to you, don’t hesitate to get booked for your motorcycle exhaust replacement in Andover with us today.
