The Ultimate Motorcycle Pre-Ride Checklist
With the wind calling your name and your Harley-Davidson® motorcycle revving to hit the roads, there's an incredible sense of freedom that awaits. But before you ride out, it is crucial to properly prepare for the journey. An essential part of that process is going through a pre-ride checklist.
Your Helmet and Gear
Safety always rides shotgun. Therefore, ensuring your helmet is in optimal condition should be at the top of your list. Check for any cracks or damage and make sure the visor isn't scratched or foggy. Don't forget about your gloves, jacket, and boots; they're not just stylish but serve as vital protection gear as well.
Tires and Wheels
Next up are tires and wheels - they're your bike's lifeline on the road. Inspect them carefully for signs of wear or any embedded material like nails or glass shards. Also, ensure correct tire pressure levels for a smooth journey.
Lights and Electrics
Lights and electrics mark another critical area to review before jumping on your bike. Check front/rear lights, signals, horn, and battery condition so that no technical glitches hamper your travel.
Fluid Levels
Lastly, ensure all fluid levels are appropriate – this includes both engine oil and brake fluid levels, as well as clutch fluid for manual bikes.
By adhering to these checks before every ride on your Harley-Davidson® motorcycle, you can not only guarantee a trouble-free travel experience but also increase the lifecycle of your trusty metal steed.
