We are in the middle of the new motorcycling season: nice and sunny weather just calls you to get back to the road. Many passionate riders have already had a chance to enjoy the outdoors, either for a ride after work or for a weekend on the beach. Surely last winter has been long for everyone and we all got enough of boring rainy afternoons spent indoors. It is then time for a general refresh! Here are a few tips that will make you feel and look great while riding on your two-wheel friend this summer.

Motorcycle maintenance

Let's start with the core things: your motorcycle. Whether it has been stored in your garage over the last months or you have used it occasionally in winter, a complete checkup of your two-wheel friend is a must. While speeding up gives you are a great sense of freedom, it is also important to have an efficient brake system that will allow you to stop any time you need. Take a careful look at your brakes: check brake fluid reservoirs and brake pads and substitute any worn parts if necessary.

Checking your tires is essential as well. Make sure to have correct air pressure to make them last longer. Don't forget to inspect your battery as it might be dead after a long break. Finally, consider changing the oil for smoother rides.
