The tool

Check my bike

Pick your bike and check it job by job. Oil gets a plain verdict on any bottle — safe, conditional, or no — against what your manual actually asks for. Brake pads get their shapes and the compound ladder; brake fluid, coolant and chain get the spec, straight from the sourced sheet.

How we verify

Every fact wears its receipt

Every number on the site wears its receipt. Each fact carries a confidence tier, the source it came from with a page or part reference, the date we last checked it, and a flag when sources disagree. Click a citation and you land on the manual or catalogue it came from.

  • OEM-verified — Straight from the owner's manual or a manufacturer registry.
  • Cross-referenced — Two independent catalogues or a manufacturer parts page agree.
  • Community — Widely reported and plausible, but no primary source yet.
  • Unverified — A known gap. Shown in the open, never guessed at.
