Motorcycles & RVs · for motorcycle and RV owners
RideLedger is a maintenance log for motorcycle and RV owners who do much of their own upkeep and want proof of it when the vehicle changes hands. Pick motorcycle or RV, enter a nickname and the odometer, and a starter set of service items appears, each with an interval you can change to match your owner's manual. Every service you log lights another segment of a resale gauge, which tracks how complete and current your record is, not what the vehicle is worth. When you sell, the whole history becomes a PDF you can hand to the buyer.
Save a chain lube, an oil change, or a roof inspection and the needle sweeps up as the next segment of the resale gauge lights. It happens on your very first record, so you see it the day you start. The gauge measures how complete and current the service record is: recent work, coverage of the core items, and gaps in the history. It never shows a price.
Each item runs on its own clock. Chain care counts miles, an RV generator counts engine hours, a roof check counts months, and winterizing comes around with the season. When an item has two limits, such as hours or a year, whichever arrives first sets the due point, and the list puts the closest items on top.
When it is time to sell, RideLedger turns the record into a plain PDF: the vehicle and its current odometer on top, then every logged service with date, mileage, item, and your notes. Costs go in or stay out with one switch. You send it from the share sheet to print, AirDrop, or email.
Most vehicle maintenance apps are shaped around a car: one odometer, a dealer schedule, fuel economy. A motorcycle asks for different things. The chain wants cleaning and lube every few hundred miles, the valve check comes around once in a long while, and a lot of the work happens in the owner's own garage with no receipt. An RV is a vehicle and a small house at once, with generator hours, roof sealant, slide-outs, LP gas, and plumbing that has to be winterized before the first freeze.
RideLedger has two vehicle types, motorcycle and RV, and each one brings its own starter items and its own clocks. A motorcycle runs mainly on miles, with time limits for things like brake fluid. An RV adds a second meter for generator engine hours and seasonal items such as winterizing. Cars are left out on purpose.
Owners keep their history in a notebook in the tank bag, on the record page at the back of the owner's manual, in a shoebox of shop receipts, or in a spreadsheet that stops being updated around the second summer. Each of those works until someone asks for it. Work you did yourself left no invoice, the notebook was in the old jacket, and the receipts never say what the odometer read.
That question usually comes from a buyer. A title or vehicle history report says nothing about oil changes or chain care, so the seller is the only person who can produce that history. RideLedger keeps it in one place from the first entry, with the mileage or engine hours written down at the moment you did the work.
Sunday afternoon, you clean and lube the chain. Open the bike, tap the item, and the date is already today; type the odometer and save. A receipt or a photo of the work is optional. The resale gauge picks up the record on the spot, and the chain's next due point moves 600 miles further out if that is the interval you set.
After a trip, update the odometer from the vehicle card in one tap. If you mistype it, edit or delete the record later; a reading lower than the last one gets a warning rather than a block, because gauges get replaced and typos happen. For an RV, the same card also holds generator hours.
If you want reminders, turn on a weekly digest at a time you choose. It lists the one to three items closest to due and keeps the vehicle's nickname and your costs off the lock screen. Because the phone cannot see your odometer, mileage items are estimated from your last update, and the list shows when that update was.
Every item arrives with a starting interval drawn from published maintenance schedules, and each one can be changed. Intervals differ by make, model, and how you ride, so a note sits at the top of the list saying the owner's manual comes first. When an item passes its interval, the app says so plainly, for example that the chain is past its interval, without red alarms or warnings about breakdowns.
RideLedger is a record-keeping tool. It does not inspect your vehicle or tell you it is safe to ride or tow. Follow your owner's manual and a qualified mechanic for intervals and repairs.
The resale gauge is a picture of record quality: whether the core items are covered, whether recent work is on time, and whether the history has long gaps. It rises as you log and eases down as items go past due, quietly. It is not an appraisal, and RideLedger never puts a dollar figure, market value, or price on your vehicle.
The PDF is written for a stranger. It carries the vehicle details, the current odometer or hours, and the records in date order exactly as you entered them, with a line stating that the history was recorded by the owner. It does not fill in missing months, mark unlogged work as done, include the gauge score, or call anything certified.
There is no account to create and no server behind the app. RideLedger makes no network requests, so there is no VIN lookup, no price estimate, and no cloud sync, and it carries no analytics. Your log can be backed up to a file and restored from it on a new phone, and Settings has one control that deletes every record, photo, and cached PDF at once.
They are starting points taken from published maintenance schedules, not the schedule for your exact model. Check your owner's manual and change any interval to match it. The app keeps a reminder at the top of the list that the manual comes first.
No. The gauge only reflects how complete and up to date your service record is. RideLedger never shows a price, a market value, or an appraisal, and the gauge does not appear on the PDF.
Yes. Pick the item, keep today's date or change it, enter the odometer or engine hours, and save. Cost, a note, and a photo of the receipt or the work are all optional.
Mileage items are worked out from the last odometer reading you entered, and the list shows when that was. The optional weekly digest lists what is close and suggests checking, so a quick odometer update keeps it accurate.
No. There is no account and no server, and the app makes no network requests. Records and photos stay on your phone. You can export a backup file, restore it on another phone, or delete everything from Settings.
Yes. Costs are a switch on the PDF screen. Turn it off and the buyer sees dates, mileage, items, and notes only. The records themselves always appear in full.
