WheelsOfGrace.com | Volume 10 Issue 6 | 31 get one, or start your bike every couple weeks and let it run to recharge the ba ery. 7. Give your bike a good clean. Ideally a thorough detail would be the best, but if you don't have the time or resources, I suggest wiping it down with a soft cloth and a degreaser such as Simple Green. Clean your wheels, forks, calipers, swing- arm, bodywork and especially your windscreen if you have one! There's nothing worse than not being able to see out of your shield when you're going down the road. Not only will changing your fluids, inspec ng everything and cleaning your bike make your bike fresh for the upcoming riding season, it will also make sure that everything is in spec, and func oning properly so you can stay as safe as possible. 8. Make sure your riding gear is ready. This is a key factor in having an enjoyable experience. I would always start every season with two sets so I didn't miss a beat if something happened to one. Most people only need one set, but give it a thorough inspec on for any hole or marks to make sure it's going to protect you properly. Small rips in chest area are okay, but if there are any rips on the elbows, shoulders, knees–any place where if you hit ground it will break open–consider buying a replacement. Don't forget to check the zipper! You don't want to be all ready to ride and unable to zip your suit. 9. Check your helmet. If your head has ever touched the ground, you need a new helmet, period. Even if it hasn't, helmets do not last forever. As a general rule, make sure your helmet is no more than 5 years old. The foam liner breaks down over time, and if you've stored your helmet in the garage, variances in temperature can also shorten its life. Check the date of manufacture, usually found on the chin strap, and get a new one if it's too old. The materials and technology just keep ge ng be er. Don't forget your spring cleaning! Things collect dust, so you especially want to clean your helmet, and wipe down your armor, boots and gloves. 10. Check your insurance policy! Make sure it's up to date, that your coverages are still in line with your motorcycle and any new parts you may have put on it. If you have made upgrades, make sure you keep your receipts and any other documentation about them. I learned this the hard way when I put some nice 20" wheels on a van I bought a few years ago. The van ended up getting stolen, and I didn't have a receipt for the wheels so I had a hard time getting them covered. I hope my advice allows you to have a safe and enjoyable riding season full of fun and memories! For more articles go to: https://wheelsofgrace.com/articles/ CHRISTIANITY IS NOT A RELIGION...
