As the weather warms up, riders everywhere are getting ready to hit the open road. But before you fire up your bike for the season, make sure it’s truly road-ready.
A quick visual check is good, but a full inspection can save you from serious breakdowns—or worse, accidents.
Here’s a simple pre-season checklist:
1. Tire Condition and Pressure
Flat spots, cracks, or low tread can ruin your ride. Don’t forget to check tire pressure—it often drops over winter.
2. Battery Health
Cold storage can drain or damage your battery. Make sure it holds a charge and that terminals are clean.
3. Brake Performance
Test both front and rear brakes for smooth, responsive action. Squeaking or grinding? It’s time for service.
4. Fluid Levels and Leaks
Check oil, brake fluid, and coolant (if applicable). Any signs of leakage should be addressed before riding.
5. Lights and Controls
Blinkers, headlights, horn, and throttle should all respond without delay.
