When I first heard about the Motominder I though to myself 'What would I need that for?' ... but after finding out just what the Motominder does, I'm left wondering why it took so long for some one to create and market it.

And more to the point, why a device like Motominder isn't fitted as standard equipment to all new Motorcycles, ATVs, Jet Skis and other recreational vehicles.

One of the difficulties of owning anything with a motor is knowing exactly when that motor is due for servicing. Failure to maintain a propper servicing regime can see today's high performance engines self-destruct with frightening rapidity.

Even simple things like stale or cooked lubricants can induce abnormal wear in engine parts. The ultra-fine particles created during this process then further contaminate the lubricant accelerating engine wear and the further creation of damaging contaminants. Things can (and often do) go from bad to worse, very quickly indeed.

Preventing this degradation from happening in the first place, simply through well-timed regular maintenance could easily save a rider hundreds, if not thousands of dollars.

Then there is the added advantage of being able to match the readings from the Motominder to servicing information. That might not sound impressive now, but wait until you want to sell your bike, then it could make one hell of a difference.

Being able to show (and prove) to your prospective buyer that the bike has been well maintained, could easily be worth way more cash in your pocket than the initial low cost of a Motominder.
