A free printable tyre and brake record — tread depths at each corner over time, rotations, pressures and brake wear.
2 pages. Choose your paper size — both versions are laid out identically, so neither one gets shrunk to fit.

The fillable versions have real form fields — open them in any PDF reader, type into them and save. Printing help.
See wear as a trend, so you can plan replacement instead of being told at a test that it is already too late.
Any vehicle owner who wants to budget for tyres and brakes rather than be surprised by them.
2 pages, in this order:
Printed under the title: Tread depths, pressures, rotations and brake wear over time. A single measurement tells you little; a series tells you when to buy.
Write-on lines: Vehicle · Registration · Tyre size · Recommended pressures F / R · Loaded pressures · Wheel nut torque
Table, 12 rows: Date · Mileage · FL · FR · RL · RR · Spare · Rotated / balanced / replaced
Table, 21 rows: Date · Mileage · Front pads / discs · Rear pads / discs / shoes · Fluid changed · By

What a service history actually consists of, how stamped books and digital records differ, what a private buyer looks for, and how to handle gaps honestly.
Keep a service history in your own hands, so it survives changing garages and is there when you sell.
Track the consumables that move fast on a bike — chain, tyres and pads — between the services that happen once a year.
The same subject, with a version you can fill in on screen.
Each tyre's position, make, size and date code.
Every item checked on this vehicle, on a dated sheet with the odometer reading.
Tread depth on each wheel over time, and which one is wearing fastest.
Every sheet, binder, game and puzzle on Upkeep Papers is free to download, with no email and no account. Making them is not free: each one takes days of research, design and checking, and the site costs money to run. If something here saved you time, you can buy us a coffee. It is entirely optional: nothing is locked, and nothing changes if you don’t.
