Just like cars, motorcycles need seasonal prep to handle changing weather. Whether you’re gearing up for sunny summer rides or storing your bike for winter, here’s what you should do:
Summer Prep
- Check Tires: Heat expands air, so adjust tire pressure accordingly.
- Inspect Cooling System: Make sure coolant levels are topped off and radiator fins are clean.
- Lubricate Cables & Chain: Summer riding can be dusty — keep parts moving smoothly.
- Replace Worn Gear: Helmets, gloves, and jackets should be in good condition for safety.
Winter Prep
- Fuel Stabilizer: Add stabilizer to your gas tank to prevent buildup during storage.
- Oil Change: Fresh oil helps prevent corrosion while your bike sits.
- Battery Care: Use a battery tender or remove and store your battery in a safe place.
- Cover & Store Properly: Keep your bike in a dry, cool place with a cover to protect it.
👉 Seasonal prep ensures your motorcycle stays in great shape year-round.
