Why prepare your motorcycle before the start of the school year?
Getting back into the swing of things often means more daily commutes and changing weather conditions. Properly preparing your motorcycle means combining mechanical maintenance with appropriate gear for a worry-free ride.
Essential mechanical maintenance
Before making any customizations, please check:
- Tires : tire pressure and wear.
- Braking : condition of brake pads/discs, fluid level.
- Engine : oil change, filters, spark plugs.
- Transmission : chain (or belt) tension/wear.
- Electricity/lighting : battery, beams, optics.
Comfort and visibility on a daily basis
Complete the maintenance with targeted improvements : ergonomics (seat, handlebars), visibility (lights, turn signals), protection (skid plate, grilles). Universal accessories offer effective cross-functional upgrades.
