Are you ready to ride? First inspect your bike.

Was fairly cold a few weeks ago here in Michigan, since I ride quick first my bike, took out the winter. Had expected, it was cooler I 10-minute ride is a good review and felt.

Also reminded me to partner before starting this spring I riding my bike regularly, there are some unresolved. Running a thorough inspection of your bike before you take your bike cross-country road trip and spend the afternoon. Maintain in optimum condition and assist after major repairs to prevent.

Look carefully at your tires. Screws must have opened the hole cracked rubber, flat spot or nail holes it's time to get some new stuff in it. Also it's definitely time for some new rubber if you are the tread comes exposed wires or metal mesh. See these red flags to determine whether they are properly inflated and if not, check the tire pressure.

Broken belts or chains, road to that sidechains has. They take minutes to examine weaknesses in wear. If you find damage, replace the belt or chain. It is not sure that hurt the tension, one manufacturer's specifications.

Types of bikes, depending on easy way changes you can to spark plugs. But I like to check in advance if you own a Suzuki S40 is recommended. Not need to remove seat and gas tank spark plugs change quick fix their bikes. Cost wait process fails in the Middle you had better check the spark plugs, a few bucks and replace it now than next trip.

Run a thorough inspection of your bike helps keep in optimum condition and prevent major repairs later.

If you don't start your winter bike, take battery out and then recharge overnight. It check the level of the fluid in each cell. Enter the cells below the level recommended with distilled water. Consider the new battery purchase if over 4 years. Expecting it, replacing the batteries on charge it now dead fuss than is easier, and later still works.

The works engine the proper airflow to ensure a smooth and efficient. Prevent the oxygen from getting into the dirty air filter engine. Therefore not occur are combustion processes to run your bike. Filter pulls out and hold up lights. If you cannot see any light need to clean or replace.

So stand up your bike, completely check the exact measurements of the oil brake fluid level. First check brake fluid. Can damage the brake fluid coating part starts by cover petrol tank, cloth or towel. Reservoir shown small window front fluid level in most motorcycles. Low-side, open the reservoir and top it off it.

Keep the oil level and prevent major engine repair road in my opinion is the easiest and one of the least expensive ways. Prevent low oil levels proper lubrication. Oil shortage components moved smoothly from frictional heat occurs, ultimately destroy your engine so the. It may cost thousands of dollars are happy than replacing the engine is your local bike mechanic.

Other than checking the oil, look at your brake took seconds and can save too much money trails. For letting your brake drum wear to metal pads or destroy the disk can cost a pretty penny to replace. Most brake pads notch located on the truck that wears. Hide the notch is time to replace the pads.

And wear down over time, brake and clutch cables to the fray. If you break one has serious problems. Find out how to look at your bike maintenance book, detach the cable from their housings on the handlebars. Once applied the lubricant for cables, cable access, do the rest of the gravity.

It takes a second to check that your signal lights, brake lights and headlights work. These lights communicate the movements on the road to other drivers and keep safe on the road.

Hard stuff has some more things, you just do. Get the dust from giving it pushing bathtub and a thorough wax job road always my bike so sitting all winter. Only, not wax, primitive just off - the - shop-floor look, bring back your paint and chrome it to protect it from supporting elements your bike paint job last much longer.

Finally, the best form of check to make sure all riding gear. May not protect scars have holes you wear boots, helmet visors, gloves also no longer hinder your riding ability. Your gear is the only thing protecting your skin from the pavement.

A bit especially if maintenance work at least enjoyable things could have prevented it, own bike, road-side – is jammed. Run a thorough inspection of your bike up from taking a few hours one can evade more than likely this afternoon.

Ride safely this season!
