The air is warmer, the snow is melting, hibernating animals are coming out to play, and the birds are nesting. While some may be spring cleaning, others are preparing their two wheels for the road. From tires to fluid levels, and more, keep reading to find out what to check and specific conditions to look for so you could ensure a safe ride.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"is-style-cnvs-paragraph-callout\">In the U.S., there are over 13 million motorcycle owners<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-green-cyan-color\">Fuel system and carburetor<\/span><\/strong><br \/>The gas leftover from the previous riding season could change its chemical makeup due to evaporation through the colder months. Your motorbike\u2019s fuel may now be brown muck. That dirt can clog up the jets in the motorcycle\u2019s carburetor, affecting the performance of the bike. The carburetor supplies an internal combustion engine with the right air and fuel mixture to power the engine and move the motorcycle forward. A bad clogged carburetor could stop you from even starting your two wheels.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Clean the carburetor and pour out the leftover gasoline. You could use a liquid carburetor cleaner and unscrew the jets for a deeper clean. You could also drain the tank to handle the condensation that\u2019s formed over the winter.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"is-style-cnvs-paragraph-callout\">Harley-Davidson\u00a0is the number one motorcycle manufacturer in America, followed by Honda and Yamaha<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-green-cyan-color\">Chain or belt drive and ignition coils<\/span><\/strong><br \/>Motorcycles with chain drive need more maintenance than those with belt or shaft drive. Check the tension of the belts or chains, and if you have a chain drive oil it up. In regard to ignition coils, if you\u2019re having trouble starting the motorcycle, test them. Ignition coils serve to ramp up low battery voltage to the high voltage needed to fire the spark plug.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"is-style-cnvs-paragraph-callout\">California, Florida, and Ohio have the most registered motorcycles in the U.S.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-green-cyan-color\">The motorcycle battery<\/span><\/strong><br \/>Just like any vehicle that\u2019s parked for several months and not in use, the battery of a motorbike could die. First make sure that the problem is the battery. Modern motorcycles often the electrical switches don\u2019t allow a motorcycle to start unless \u00a0certain conditions are met. For example, check to see if your clutch is pulled in or if your side stand is up.<br \/><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/how-to-transfer-title-motorcycles-in-california-scooters-cruisers-choppers-mopeds\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SEE ALSO: HOW TO TRANSFER TITLE FOR MOTORCYCLES IN CALIFORNIA<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>A weak, dim headlight is a good indicator on older bikes that your battery is dead.\u00a0 You could test voltage with a multimeter aka DVOM or do a crank voltage test while the bike\u2019s battery is working.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"is-style-cnvs-paragraph-callout\">For quick video tutorials about any of these motorcycle inspection tips, search on Youtube<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-green-cyan-color\">Tire tread and braking<\/span><\/strong><br \/>The lifespan of your motorcycle tires shouldn\u2019t be more than five years. Inspect tires; see if there are any cracks or dry rot. Look at tread too! Many\u00a0motorcycle tires have wear<br \/>indicators cast into the rubber\u00a0tread\u00a0grooves. Look for one of the\u00a0tire\u00a0grooves with a raised segment of rubber. Your\u00a0tire tread\u00a0should be at\u00a0least\u00a01.5 millimeters deep. If the\u00a0tread\u00a0is getting low, you need new ones since it could impact your braking traction on wet roads if wear\u00a0is uneven.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"is-style-cnvs-paragraph-callout\">In 2020, Harley-Davidson sold over 103,000 motorcycles in the U.S.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Check your brakes, look for excessive wear on brake pads. Don\u2019t forget the brake lines,\u00a0 check for cracks or leaks as well as brake fluid. Test both front and rear brakes. If there\u2019s any sound like squealing, scraping or growling, make sure you fix your brakes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-green-cyan-color\">Fluids and flushes<\/span><\/strong><br \/>Many motorcyclists change their bikes\u2019 oil and oil filter before they store it during the cold months. If you didn\u2019t definitely do it before you start riding again. In fact, it\u2019s best to check all fluids and top them off, from coolant and brake fluid to hydraulic clutch fluid and more. If some of the fluids have been spoiled, you may have to do a flush.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"is-style-cnvs-paragraph-callout\">Test all of your controls\u00a0including your steering, clutch, throttle<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-green-cyan-color\">Registration and title transfers for motorcycles<\/span><\/strong><br \/>If springtime means you need to<a href=\"https:\/\/www.etags.com\/#utm_source=blog_article\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> register or renew your motorcycle&#8217;s registration<\/a>, eTags online could help.
