Help 05: TIPS FOR BIKE WEEK and Riding:

CHANGE BRAKE FLUID;

Brake fluid retains the water and moisture from the atmosphere and can eventually cause corrosion in the brake system. Changing the fluid at least annually will prevent corrosion and allow for more effective brake operation

CHECK BATTERY FLUID LEVEL

Check the battery terminals and that the voltage is at least 13 vdc. Ensure connections are clean and tight and the ground wire is well connected.

FRESH OIL, FILTERS AND SPARK PLUGS

It's always cheaper to do it at home instead of in Daytona. Bring spares if you have them.

OIL LEAKS, SLOW TIRE LEAKS, BRAKE FLUID etc...

These little problems can easily turn into bigger problems down the road and cause you downtime in Daytona.

CHAINS

Ensure it is clean and well lubricated. Chains only last when you take care of them, not forever. A spare master link can get you home if the chain breaks and takes up little space.

BE PREPARED

Start planning now!!!!
