If you want to guarantee that your bike will work perfectly during each of your rides, you should follow the tips in this post by bestoilmall in Las Vegas, NV to have a pre-riding inspection routine.

What to Check on Your Bike Before Each Ride

Checking your motorcycle before each of your rides is the only way you can completely certain that everything is working as expected, and that you won't have a technical malfunction as you're out and about. To learn what you should be checking on your bike, however, read the post below.

Browse AMSOIL's online shop or call bestoilmall at (702) 480-3533 to purchase the best bike synthetic oil in Las Vegas, NV.

The Fuel

One of the first things you should notice on your bike before you leave for your ride is how much gasoline it has. Not only is running out of gas completely annoying and even dangerous, but it can actually take a toll on your motorcycle's lifespan and performance. This is because, when you fail to refill the tank, you're forcing the sediment at the bottom of the tank to go through the engine, which can ruin its components. Always check and fill your fuel to ensure you'll have a smooth and enjoyable ride.

The Tires

Can you imagine riding down the road on bad tires? Riding a motorcycle is dangerous enough as it is without adding to it the risk of having your tire deflate or roll away. That's why, your pre-riding routine should include an inspection to the tires. Make sure that both of them are in great shape (there shouldn't be signs of damage or deflation), and that they are properly attached. If they aren't, fix this problem before hitting the road.

The Lights

As previously stated, riding on a bike can be dangerous. It can be even more dangerous if you don't have lights to see or to be seen when you're on the road. For that reason, remember to check the lights in your motorcycle as well. For example, the headlights, the brake lights, turn signals, and more, should be able to work as expected when you're on the road. If upon inspection, you find one of the lights is off, change it promptly so you can remain safe while on your rides.

The Chain

Not every bike has a chain. If yours does, however, it is imperative that you guarantee it's good to go before you hop on your motorcycle. As you may be aware, the chain is the one responsible for transmitting power from the engine to the back wheel. Still, for it to do its job as expected, it needs to be in proper condition, clean, lubricated, and appropriately tight. Once again, if it's not, replace the chain or fix the situation.

Protect and lubricate the engine with AMSOIL 20W-50 Synthetic V-Twin Motorcycle Oil, the best synthetic oil in Las Vegas, NV. Call bestoilmall at (702) 480-3533 to place an order.

Its Drivability

Something you should consider doing before every bike ride you have, is test drive your motorcycle. Going around the block or riding in a safe environment will allow you to guarantee that your bike's drivability is where it should be. This is because, through it, you'll be able to tell if there are any issues with the brakes, the engine, the steering wheel, or other major components. It's better if you know about them before taking off, so take your motorcycle for a spin.

Your Gear

No bike rider should ride without the necessary protective gear. This is due to the fact that if you're in an accident, your gear may be the only thing protecting you from a crash at full speed. For that same reason, you should inspect your riding gear before each time you put it on. Check that the helmet, your gloves, your riding jacket, and other similar items, are in the best condition possible, so they can keep you safe if you do have a mishap while you're out and about.

Any Issues

Last but not least, it's crucial that you keep your eyes out for any other issues you may notice with your motorcycle. For example, are any of its liquids leaking? If you notice that something is off, it is far better to postpone your ride until you have the chance to take your bike to a professional mechanic and have the issue fixed. If you don't, you may end up putting yourself in a whole lotta trouble.
