Motorcycle DIY Service Minder

The service log that already knows your bike.

Pick your motorcycle from more than 7,820 models, 1894 to today, and the app loads its maintenance schedule. Where the maker published one, you get that chart, with the manual it came from named. Log the work as you do it, and the app keeps count of what comes due next.

Why it exists

Motorcycles are like airplanes. There aren't many second chances.

A soft brake line, a dry chain, a wheel bearing on its way out: on two wheels, a skipped job can turn into a crash. Pilots keep a logbook and fly by a maintenance schedule for exactly that reason. This app brings the same habit to your garage.

It's built for every rider, and above all for those keeping older and vintage bikes on the road themselves, long after the dealer stopped sending reminders. That's why the library reaches back to 1894, and why every interval tells you where it came from.

Schedules with receipts

Every interval says where it came from.

A service chart is only as good as its source, so the app never hides it. Each line is marked one of three ways, and the published ones carry the manual's own wording.

Factory
Printed by the maker: an owner's handbook, service manual, workshop manual or factory bulletin.
Aftermarket
From a published repair manual that quotes the factory figures. Better than a guess.
Guideline
Where no published chart turned up, a general interval for the bike's era and layout, clearly labeled, and yours to edit.

What the app does

A lot more than a schedule.

The app works with no signal, in the garage or at a gas station two states from home.

Trip tracker

Mileage that keeps itself current

A schedule is only as good as the odometer reading behind it, so the app keeps it up to date for you.

Automatic: Start a trip and GPS counts the miles with the screen off. Tap Stop for the day, pick it up the next morning, and the trip carries on.
Manual: Type the odometer whenever you like: at a fill-up, before a ride, after one. Big keys, sized for gloves.

GPS distance is saved right alongside each odometer reading on a trip. After about 20 miles of those pairs, the app works out how far off your speedometer reads, and uses that to estimate the odometer between readings.
Two home-screen buttons open the apps you pick, like your map, and can start the trip with the same tap. While it runs, the app's icon floats over your map to bring you back.
On-the-road checks up front. Give the trip a planned distance and it lists what comes due before the end.
Off the bike exploring? Pause the trip and it reminds you to start riding again.

Garage

Every bike you own, in one garage

Add as many bikes as you have. Each one keeps its own photo and color, its own odometer, its own schedule and its full service history.

Open the app and see which bikes need attention and what is due soon, across the whole garage.
Pick the bike you are riding and the trip, fuel stop or service lands on the right one.
Each bike's schedule follows how it was built and its model year, so a points-ignition twin and a fuel-injected four get different charts.
Export a full backup or a spreadsheet per bike whenever you like.

Schedule

Factory charts first

Where the maker published a chart, that's what you get, with its source named. Next best is an aftermarket manual quoting the factory. Everything else is a labeled guideline for the bike's era and layout, and every interval can be changed.

Service

Log a whole service in one go

Items are grouped by interval like a factory chart, so the 3,000 mile service is one entry, not twelve. Parts, cost and notes stay with the record.

Reminders

Nudges when it comes due

Date-based jobs like brake fluid, the battery and tire age send a phone notification when they come due, even if the bike hasn't moved all winter. Mileage-based items show up as you log miles.

Odometer

Swapped speedo? Dead one?

Replacement speedometers in miles or kilometers, five-digit rollovers, a cable that quit last summer. The schedule runs on true distance, so nothing resets.

Fuel

Fuel stops and MPG

Log fill-ups per bike and watch the mileage. A sudden drop is often the first sign a carburetor, plug or brake needs a look.

VIN decoder

Read the frame number

Modern 17-character VINs and older frame numbers, worked out on the phone with no signal needed. Try it on this site.

Coming

Your garage on a bigger screen.

Sign in from the app and your garage will sync both ways with motoservicelog.com: bikes, schedules, odometer readings, speedometer changes, trips, fuel stops and service records. Plan a winter teardown at the desk, fix a typo in last spring's oil change, or print a bike's full history before you sell it. The phone picks up every change.

Accounts are optional. The app works fully without one.
Edit on the phone or in the browser; both stay in step.
Trip GPS distance travels with the odometer readings it was recorded against, the same pairs the app uses to work out your speedometer error.
Your full history exports to a file any time, account or not.

Your data

Your records, your call.

Works offline

Bikes, mileage and service history are saved on your phone, so the app keeps working where there's no signal. Signing in to sync with this site is optional.

Says what it sends

Each online feature tells you what leaves the phone. The VIN lookup, for one, sends the VIN to NHTSA and nothing else.

Take it with you

Export a full backup or a per-bike spreadsheet whenever you like. Restoring a backup adds bikes and never overwrites.
