For the OFF SEASON:
The snow's flying and the temperatures are bitter. And the last thing on your mind is motorcycling but soon enough the days will get longer and the flowers will pop up. And some of us will be wishing that we had done some maintenance over the winter.
Now's the time to:
-check tires
-cables, hoses and electrical connections.
Take care of any problems that you meant to do last season so that you're ready in the Spring.
Make appointments for service while the dealers and shops are slow.
Store your battery or add a battery tender to keep the charge up.
Remember that a good cleaning is a sure way of finding loose nuts and bolts and a slew of other potential problems.
No one knows your bike like you. Treat it right and it will give you back many enjoyable miles.
