Washing your motorcycle is most important if you fail to do so before winter storage. Getting intimate with cleaning each part is also an excellent way to spot leaks, wear, cracks, or any loose or aging component. Next, check the moving parts and pivot points like the swingarm, suspension links, or kickstand, and re-apply lube, grease, or lubricant when necessary.
Before washing the bike, check the floor for leaks or fluid drips. Getting rid of standing dirt, gunk, or debris will allow you to trace the source of any leak more accurately. You may have to use a degreaser for extremely dirty or oily surfaces. The idea is to clean most surfaces while identifying potential failure points.
Check all fluids & filters
Your bike needs fresh fluids and filters to run more smoothly and dependably. We’re talking about engine oil, gear oil, transmission fluid, brake fluid, coolant, and the necessary oil, air, and fuel filters. Refer to your motorcycle’s service manual to determine when to replace the oil and air filter. If you have more than one motorcycle in the garage, the rule is to change the oil and engine coolant seasonally. It also depends on the type of engine oil.
Bike experts recommend changing the oil every 2,000 miles for mineral-based oil, 6,000 miles for semi-synthetic motor oil, and 8,000 miles for fully-synthetic oils. We recommend changing the oil and filter every 5,000 miles for seldom-used motorcycles. In addition, you should change the air and fuel filters at least every 25,000 miles.
