The problem
Why riders lose track of maintenance
Most riders keep service history in three places: a receipt in a drawer, a note on the phone, and their memory. Then spring comes around and nobody can say when the oil was last changed or how old the tires are.
On a bike that matters more than on a car. Chain slack, tire condition and brake fluid are the difference between a good ride and a bad day. A maintenance log only works if it's somewhere you already open, which is why Rippin' puts it in the same Garage as your rides.

How it works
How to set up a motorcycle maintenance log app you'll keep using
- 1
Add your bike
You add a bike during sign-up, and you can add more in the Garage any time.
- 2
Log what's been done
Start with the last service you're sure of. Oil, chain, tires, brakes, whatever you know.
- 3
Set service reminders
Use your owner's manual for the intervals and set a reminder for the next one.
- 4
Ride and record
Your rides and lifetime miles build up in the same place as your service history.
What to log
What's worth writing down
You don't need to log every bolt. These are the items riders most often lose track of. Your owner's manual has the intervals for your bike.
- Oil and filter changes
- Chain cleaning, lube and adjustment, plus sprocket wear
- Tires: when they went on and how they're wearing
- Brake pads and brake fluid
- Coolant, battery and air filter
- Bigger jobs like valve checks, plus any part you replaced
On a real ride
The week before a long weekend
You've got a three-day trip planned with your squad. On Monday a service reminder comes up: chain service is due. You look at the log and see the oil change was last spring, before a lot of recorded rides.
So you clean and adjust the chain Tuesday night, change the oil Wednesday, log both, and set the next reminders. Friday morning you leave with nothing nagging at you. Without the log you'd have found out about the chain somewhere on day two.
Free vs Plus
The Garage is free
Bikes, build photos, the maintenance log and service reminders are all free and unlimited. Rippin' Plus ($4.99/mo) pays 1.5x points on every ride and adds auto-recording, so the rides in your Garage are complete even when you forget to tap Record.
Tips
Tips for a log you'll actually keep
- Log the work right after you do it, while the date and the parts are fresh.
- Follow the intervals in your owner's manual. They're written for your bike.
- Check tire pressure before every ride. It takes a minute and it's the cheapest maintenance there is.
- If you sell the bike, a clear service history helps the next owner trust it.
How it connects
Your Garage is your profile
Every ride you record with the ride tracker lands in the Garage. Your level and XP and the badges from your passport sit next to your bikes. If you're bringing years of rides over from another app, GPX import fills in the history.
