Chain and Drivetrain:
- Keep the chain clean and lubricated to prevent rust and ensure smooth shifting.
- Check gears for proper alignment and shifting performance.
General Cleaning:
Clean the bike with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using high-pressure washers directly on electrical components.
