Going on a road trip is half the fun of owning a motorcycle. You love your daily travels, but these are the things you get really excited about for weeks and even months. When you are planning a road trip, you need to prepare your bike so that your safety is optimized at all times.
At Manteca Insurance & Financial Services, we want Central Valley, CA motorcycle riders to feel safe on the roads at all times. Here’s how to prepare your bike before you hit the road.
Check Your Fluids
Make sure that your oil is changed if it needs it, and all of your fluids are topped up. You want to have a full gas tank, and everything refreshed before you go on your trip.
Make sure that your gas tank is full, and that you know how long it will take for you to go through a tank of gas. The range of your gas tank is an important thing to know before you go. Run your tank down once to know your mileage before you head out.
Extras to Remember
There are a number of extras to remember when you are on a road trip. Keep your spare key on you at all times. Carry it on your person, and not on the same chain or keyring that your main key is on. You never know when you are going to need it.
Check the Electrics and Controls
Make sure that your battery is in good condition, and that your controls are working. You also want to be sure that your lights are all in good working order.
