Are you as excited as we are about the start of the riding season? it’s a tad early, but we\u2019re already celebrating the end of the torturous winter days and a bad case of PMS (Parked Motorcycle Syndrome). However, before you wheel your pride and joy out of the garage, be sure to prepare your motorcycle for the riding season.<\/p>\n

This spring ritual is a must for any rider, and in fact, it can be just as much fun as gearing up for that first ride. Okay, that\u2019s probably an exaggeration \u2013 there\u2019s nothing that compares to finally hitting that open road again. Still, prepping your bike (and yourself!) for the summer can make for a busy day in the garage, especially if it\u2019s still raining outside.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what you need to know to prepare your motorcycle for the riding season like a pro.<\/p>\n

Are You in Top Shape?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Preparing Yourself for the Days Back in the Saddle<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Experienced veteran or newbie, as a rider, you need to make sure you\u2019re as ready for the riding season as your motorcycle. If you haven\u2019t ridden in several months, chances are, your skills might have gotten a tad rusty, even if you\u2019ve been riding for decades.<\/p>\n

In addition, you need to make sure your riding gear, boots, and helmet are all in top condition. Here\u2019s how to do this.<\/p>\n

Hit the Gym<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Let\u2019s face it: even if you ride a comfy cruiser or sport tourer, motorcycling requires endurance. Being in a good shape makes life in the saddle easier, so if you\u2019ve been enjoying those Christmas dinners and snacks in front of Netflix just a little too much, now is the time to shed a few pounds.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re hitting the gym, focus on your core and back muscles as those suffer the most when you\u2019re riding. A little yoga can help, too, especially if your back and neck feel stiff. Finally, some weightlifting work may come in handy if you drop your bike and need to pick it up. Yes, we\u2019re looking at you, adventure and dirt riders.<\/p>\n

Brush Up on Your Skills<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Admit it: when you hit the streets for the first time after those long winter months, it takes a little to get used to the way your bike feels, the way traffic moves, and the way your tires grip the tarmac. For veteran riders, this may only take a quarter of an hour. For less experienced riders, it can be days. The best way to ensure your skills are up to par is booking a track day, going for an adventure motorcycling lesson, or hitting the green lanes. This way, you can brush up on your skills minus the stress of dealing with traffic. Think you don\u2019t need riding lessons? Think again: as riders, we learn and improve throughout our entire lives. Booking an intermediate or advanced lesson can boost your riding skills and your confidence when you finally get back in the saddle again.<\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

Check Over Your Gear<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Most riders obsess over the tiniest details when it comes to their motorcycles, but often forget to give their riding gear some TLC. Don\u2019t skip it and check your riding gear, boots, and helmets over. If you haven\u2019t done this in the fall, now is the time to wash your gear, check for any tears or rips, reseal all the GoreTex parts, and air out your boots and helmet. Speaking of boots: a pro tip for funky odors is putting a couple of drops of essential tea tree oil on the inside soles. Tea tree is a strong natural bacteria killer and a few drops will eliminate all odors and bacteria that might have moved in.<\/p>\n

Make sure your helmet\u2019s inner lining is clean. If your helmet is more than five years old, or if you had dropped it, now is the perfect time to shop for a new lid.<\/p>\n

Addicted to motorcycle travel? Now is a good time to check over your luggage. If it\u2019s aluminum panniers and top box, check it over to see if there are any fractures or dents. If it\u2019s soft luggage, wash everything out so it\u2019s ready. And if you\u2019re a minimalist who travels with nothing but a tank bag and a duffel on your luggage rack, simply clean everything and summon the courage to finally throw out those broken phone charger cables, stray washers, and old earplugs that have accumulated in your bags during the last season.<\/p>\n

Preparing Your Motorcycle for the Riding Season<\/strong><\/h2>\n

As a responsible motorcycle owner, we know you\u2019ve utilized our winter prep tips<\/a> and your bike is ready to go. However, if you skipped several steps, make sure you thoroughly check your bike before hitting the road again. Even if you have \u201cwinterized\u201d your motorcycle as best as you could, it\u2019s still a good idea to check everything over. There\u2019s nothing more annoying than planning that first glorious spring ride with your riding buddies and finding your battery is dead or your tires are flat, so here\u2019s a simple guide of how to prep the bike for the season.<\/p>\n

Clean Your Bike<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Cleaning your motorcycle after winter storage is a great feeling: as you wipe down dust and grime that has gathered on the fairings and imagine that first ride, it\u2019s almost like you find a new appreciation for your loyal steed. In addition, thoroughly cleaning your bike helps detect any damage, loose nuts and bolts, and anything else that may appear out of order.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t just wipe down your fairings and windshield, however. During the winter months, moisture might have caused a little corrosion or rust, so check over all the metal parts. Clean your brake rotors and make sure any protective sprays or greasers are cleaned off before you ride.<\/p>\n

Finally, take a peek inside the exhaust and airbox \u2013 this is where tiny critters such as mice like to hang out in winter. Mouse nests have clogged countless airboxes and exhaust pipes, so double-check and escort the unwanted squatters out if you detect any. While you\u2019re at it, have a look at your air filter. Take it out, clean it, and treat it: during the cold winter months, moisture might have gotten to it.<\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

Go Over the Motorcycle<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Now that your bike\u2019s sparkling clean, go over the motorcycle again and check everything thoroughly, doing a visual inspection. Tighten up any loose bolts, inspect your wheels and brake pads, and see if there are any exposed wires. Lube your throttle and clutch cables and check that your wheels are spinning freely. Make sure that your steering isn\u2019t locking up (or that there isn\u2019t too much play that would indicate the bearings are going). Finally, have a good look at your forks and fork seals, ensuring there aren\u2019t any leaks.<\/p>\n

Check Your Oil and Fluids<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If you\u2019ve changed the oil before you stored the bike for the winter, kudos for you: your engine is coated in fresh oil. However, if you skipped this step, now is the time to do it. Change the oil before you start the bike so that the engine doesn\u2019t get a dose of old, filthy oil.<\/p>\n

The same goes for all the other fluids. Your brake fluid and coolant should be fresh for the riding season, so check the fluid levels and top them off if needed. Ideally, change all the fluids altogether to ensure your ride is smooth \u2013 and safe.<\/p>\n

Finally, if you\u2019d forgotten to add fuel stabilizer before the winter, get rid of old gas and fill up with new petrol. Gas can and does go bad over a longer period of time, and it can clog up the fuel injectors (or carb jets, if you have an older model).<\/p>\n

Battery, Wires, and Electrics<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Dead battery equals dead bike: we all know this, yet so many riders forget to put the battery on a tender during the winter or charge it before that first ride. Now is the time to do it. If your battery has gone flat, charge it up so your bike is ready to go.<\/p>\n

This is also a good time to do a quick electrics check. Go over the fuses and replace any that have been blown; make sure all your lights and indicators are working properly. Replace blown bulbs if you find any and check that your brake light is working well.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve been considering adding some auxiliary lights, now is the perfect time to do it. Often, car drivers forget all about motorcyclists during the winter months, and as riders swarm the streets in spring, riders may be at a greater risk. Increasing your visibility as a motorcycle rider is always a great idea, so grab that auxiliary light kit and install it now.<\/p>\n

Wheels and Tires<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Now that you\u2019ve cleaned your bike, checked it over, and topped off or replaced the fluids and recharged the battery, do one last check and inspect your wheels and tires. Run your fingers along the rims to make sure there aren\u2019t any fractures or dents and, if you have spoked wheels, check the spokes and tighten up any loose ones. Clean off rust if you find any.<\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

When it comes to your tires, spin the wheels slowly and look for cracks and uneven wear. If you\u2019ve kept your motorcycle on a center stand or jack, your tire pressure should be fine, but do check it regardless. If your tires are old and worn, now is a great time to change them. Finally, replace any missing valve caps.<\/p>\n

Chain and Sprockets<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If your motorcycle has a chain drive, go over your sprockets and chain. You\u2019ve probably cleaned them before storing the bike for winter but inspect them again. If you detect any excess oil, see if your front sprocket seal isn\u2019t leaking. The sprocket teeth shouldn\u2019t be worn, and you might want to check the chain tension before you ride. Finally, give it a clean and a fresh coat of chain lubricant.<\/p>\n

Mods, Tools, and Farkles<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Like most riders, we bet you love tinkering with your motorcycle. And if that\u2019s the case, you\u2019ve probably been hoarding new farkles and aftermarket parts over the winter. Now is the time to use them: install those new crash bars, change out your footpegs, and add that new windscreen you scored on eBay back in December. Working on your bike and farkling it out for the spring is an amazing feeling, so go nuts and do all those mods you\u2019ve been obsessing over during winter. However, don\u2019t forget your regular service, either. When was the last time you\u2019ve adjusted your valves or cleaned out the carbs?<\/p>\n

Once you\u2019re done, go over your tools and spares. Clean out the toolbox, stock up on spare tire tubes and cable ties, and organize everything so it\u2019s ready for the riding season.<\/p>\n

Test Ride<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Your motorcycle is clean, road-worthy, and ready to go. Hooray! However, before you go for a long ride, do a quick test around the block first. Wheel the bike out of the garage, start the engine, and take your two-wheeled machine for a short spin. If you\u2019ve mounted brand-new tires, a test ride will help get rid of the initial slick feeling. The engine will get a coat of fresh oil, the fuel injectors or carb jets will get a flush of fresh gas, and your battery will be ready for the next time.<\/p>\n

As you ride, listen for any weird noises or rattling. Do a few U-turns to check your steering, hit the brakes hard a few times to make sure the fluid isn\u2019t clogged up and the brake pads work as they should. Finally, top up the tank, park your bike, and gear up for that first long ride after winter.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Preparing your motorcycle for the riding season is as important as winterizing it for storage. Don\u2019t skip any of these steps so that your first spring ride is as exciting, safe, and smooth as can be! And while you’re at it, make sure you’re taking care of bike security, too. A sturdy chain and disc lock is a must wherever you go if you want to protect your motorcycle from theft. In addition, think about installing a wireless motorcycle tracker<\/a>: as they say, safe is better than sorry<\/a>.<\/p>\n
