How to Use LookOver

Keep Your Machines Ready to Ride

Welcome to LookOver. We built this app because we needed it ourselves. No more spreadsheets. No more lost paper notes. No more guessing when you last changed the oil. Just simple, reliable tracking so you can ride more and wrench less.

Something is always better than nothing. Start small, stay consistent, and trust that writing things down beats trying to remember everything.

You know your machines, your conditions, and your riding style. LookOver helps you stay organized and on top of maintenance so when it's time to ride, you're ready.

Getting Started

LookOver is built around three core concepts: Machines, Services, and Reminders. Here's how to get rolling.

Adding Your First Machine

Your garage starts here. Add each machine you want to track and LookOver will help you keep it running great.

What to include:

• Title/Nickname: Something you'll recognize ("Trail Ripper," "The Mudder," etc.)

• Year, Make, Model: Helps with organization and future features

• VIN: Optional, but useful for records and resale

• Cover Photo: Makes your garage feel like yours

• Starting Hours/Mileage: Your baseline for tracking and reminders

💡 Pro tip: Start with your most-used machine. You can always add more later.

Race Mode

For dedicated race machines, toggle on Race Mode. This switches tracking from "Hours + Distance" to "Hours + Races." Instead of miles or kilometers, you'll track how many races the machine has run.

Race-based reminders make more sense for competition bikes where maintenance is tied to race events rather than trail miles. You can set reminders like "valve check every 5 races" instead of every 50 hours.

Logging Services

Every oil change, filter swap, chain adjustment, and bolt check can live here. Log services as you do them or add past work from memory. Having a record is what matters.

Each service can include:

• Subject: What you did ("Oil Change," "Chain Tension," "Pre-Ride Check")

• Date: When it happened

• Hours/Mileage: Where your machine was at

• Cost: Track what you're spending (Pro)

• Notes: Part numbers, observations, anything useful

• Photos: Receipts, before/after shots, part labels

💡 Pro tip: Log services right after you do them. Your future self will thank you.

Setting Reminders

Never forget another service. LookOver supports four reminder types to match how you ride:

Reminder types:

• Date-based: Great for seasonal tasks like coolant flushes or winterization

• Hours-based: Ideal for engine work like oil changes and valve adjustments

• Mileage-based: Best for wear items like tires, chains, and brake pads

• Race-based: For competition machines with Race Mode enabled

Not sure which to use? Check your machine's service manual. It usually specifies whether intervals are time, hours, or mileage-based. When in doubt, hours-based works well for most engine maintenance.

Compound "OR" Intervals

Some maintenance needs to happen based on whichever comes first. LookOver lets you set compound intervals like "every 50 hours OR every 2 races." The reminder triggers when either condition is met.

This is especially useful for race bikes where you might hit a race count threshold before an hours threshold, or vice versa. Set both conditions and let LookOver track whichever comes first.

Recurring Reminders

When you complete a recurring reminder and log the service, LookOver automatically creates the next reminder based on your interval. Oil change done at 100 hours with a 25-hour interval? A new reminder appears for 125 hours. No manual re-entry needed.

Quick Add (Pro)

Skip the forms. Just tell LookOver what you need. Create machines, services, or reminders using plain language:

"Changed oil on the KTM today at 1000 miles and 200 hours, cost $19.95"

"Remind me to check the air filter on my Raptor every 10 hours"

LookOver parses your input and creates the entry. Fast, simple, and built for riders who'd rather be wrenching than tapping through forms.

Your System, Your Way

Every rider is different and so is every maintenance approach. LookOver adapts to how you ride, not the other way around.

Why We Built It This Way

Every rider is different. A weekend trail rider and a racer have completely different maintenance needs. A guy in dusty Arizona and someone in muddy Washington face different conditions. Your machines, your schedule, your system.

You control:

• What services you track

• What intervals you use

• What reminders you set

• How much detail you include

Start Simple

You don't need to track everything from day one. Start with the basics that matter most to you:

• Oil changes

• Air filter services

• Chain/belt maintenance

• Pre-season prep

Add more detail as you go. There's no wrong way to use LookOver, only the way that keeps you riding.

Recreational vs. Race Schedules

Manufacturer manuals often include aggressive service intervals designed for racing or competition. If you're a recreational rider, those intervals might be overkill.

LookOver lets you decide. Set intervals that match your actual riding style, not someone else's race schedule. You know your machines.

Distance Units

Prefer kilometers over miles? Head to Settings and switch your distance unit. All your mileage values, reminders, and thresholds will convert automatically. Works both ways, so you can switch back anytime.

Service Interval Templates (Pro)

Service Interval Templates let you build a complete maintenance schedule for your machine and apply all the reminders with one tap. Think of them as your service manual translated into LookOver.

How They Work

1. Create a template for your machine using your service manual as a guide

2. Add each maintenance item with its recommended interval (hours, miles, or date)

3. Apply the template to generate all your reminders at once

4. Adjust intervals to match your riding style and conditions

When to Use Them

• New machine setup: Build your maintenance schedule from the service manual

• After a rebuild: Reset all your intervals at once

• Seasonal prep: Make sure nothing gets missed

Reapplying a Template

When you complete a service and mark the reminder done, that reminder is finished. But your template still exists. Tap "Reapply" to regenerate any missing reminders based on your current hours or mileage.

For example: You applied a template at 100 hours. You completed the oil change reminder at 125 hours. Reapplying the template creates a new oil change reminder for 150 hours (or whatever interval you set). Your completed service history stays intact.

Copying to Another Machine

Got a similar machine? You can copy your template instead of rebuilding it from scratch. Open the template, tap "Copy to Machine," and select the target. The new machine gets its own copy of the template, which you can then adjust as needed.

This is handy when you have multiple machines of the same type, or similar models that share maintenance schedules. Create once, copy as needed, tweak the intervals for each machine's specific use.

They're Starting Points, Not Rules

Templates give you a foundation. From there, you adjust intervals based on your conditions, riding intensity, and personal preferences.

Your service manual might suggest oil changes every 15 hours. If you ride hard in dusty conditions, maybe you drop that to 10. If you're mostly casual trail riding, maybe 20 works fine. Your call.

Coming Soon

We're working on AI-powered templates that can read your service manual and build your maintenance schedule automatically. Just snap a photo or share a PDF, and LookOver will do the rest. Stay tuned.

Maintenance Best Practices

You don't need to be a mechanic to keep your machines running. Here are some practical habits that help.

Pre-Ride Checks

Before every ride, take 60 seconds to look things over:

• Tires/Track: Pressure, wear, damage

• Fluids: Oil level, coolant, brake fluid

• Controls: Throttle snaps back, brakes feel right

• Bolts: Nothing obviously loose

• Chain/Belt: Tension and condition

You're not doing a full inspection. You're catching the obvious stuff before it ruins your day.

Post-Ride Habits

Right after a ride is the best time to log what happened:

• Log services you performed (oil, adjustments, repairs)

• Note anything weird (strange noise, soft brake, vibration)

• Update hours/mileage if you're tracking manually

• Snap photos of wear items or things to watch

Your memory is freshest right now. Capture it before life gets in the way.

The "Write It Down" Principle

Trying to remember when you last changed the oil across three machines? Good luck.

Writing things down beats trying to remember. Every time.

Even simple entries help. "Oil change, 10W-40, 47 hours" is better than nothing. You'll be amazed how often you reference old entries.

Photos Matter

Your phone is always with you. Use it.

• Receipts: Proof of parts and costs

• Part numbers: Saves time on reorders

• Before/After: Track wear over time

• Torque specs: Photograph the manual page

• Weird stuff: Document issues to research later

💡 Pro tip: On iOS, you can attach files directly from iCloud. Tap the attachment button and browse your iCloud Drive for manuals, receipts, or any document you want to keep with your service record.

Hours vs. Miles vs. Calendar

Different maintenance items call for different tracking methods:

Pick what makes sense for each task. You can mix and match.

The Resale Payoff

Good records aren't just for you. When it's time to sell, a complete maintenance history:

• Builds buyer confidence (you clearly cared for it)

• Justifies your asking price (proof beats promises)

• Speeds up the sale (no "trust me, it's maintained")

• Transfers value (new owner has a baseline)

LookOver lets you export and share your records. Your diligence pays off.

Common Questions

What should I track first?
Start with the services you do most often or forget most easily. For most riders, that's oil changes, air filter cleaning, and chain/belt maintenance. Add more as you get comfortable.

How often should I update hours/mileage?
After each ride is ideal. But even updating weekly or before you log a service works fine. The goal is reasonable accuracy, not perfection.

Can I share my records when I sell?
Yes. LookOver lets you export your service history. Hand it to the buyer and give them confidence in what they're getting.

Does it work offline?
Absolutely. Log services on the trail with no signal. Everything syncs when you're back online. We built LookOver knowing that riders go where cell towers don't.

I have machines from different categories. Can I track them all?
With Pro, yes. Track your dirt bike, ATV, UTV, and snowmobile all in one place. One app for your whole garage.

What if I've been maintaining my machine but have no records?
Start fresh. Add your machine, estimate where you are on services, and start logging from today. Past records are great, but future consistency matters more.

Is my data safe?
Your data is stored securely in the cloud and synced across your devices. You control your data and can export it anytime.
