Many of you have already taken your first ride of 2026 BUT, have you really checked out your RIDE? it’s time to make sure your bike is ready for the season.
Start by checking your TIRES. Are the pressures right? is there enough tread depth? No cuts, bruises or leaks?
Then check your BRAKES. Is there enough pad thickness? (usually 2mm ~ 1/12″ is BARE MIN). Get NEW now while you have the time.
Did you change your BRAKE FLUID LAST YEAR? if NOT then THIS YEAR you should. Brake fluid should be REfreshed (drain n Fill) EVERY 2 years.
LIGHTS, check em all. HEADlight, Brake lights, Turn signal lights (front n Rear). DASH lights (any warning lights on?)
BATTERY, is it strong enough to last all season? How OLD is it? are the terminal connections tight and clean. (give them a SNUG up anyway)
GASoline, fill your tank again before heading out for any ride. (is your fuel level gage working?)
Then check on our WEBsite for more tips under RIDE RULES and MORE Rider Info.
You Can’t have TOO MUCH PREP.
