Step by step instructions for the test bike, and why it is advantageous to trust his "reactivation" specialized Moto STO read the article.

why not start preparing for motorcycle season

"Reactivation" of a motorcycle start with replacing all fluids: change the engine oil and oil filter, cardan, as well as transmission oil in motorcycles brands such as BMW, Harley-Davidson and others, where the gearbox itself is mounted separately. Be sure to check the tension on the timing belt and chain, condition of the sheaves and the stars (masters and), spark plugs and valve clearance according to regulations.

If the motorcycle's air filter, replace it replacement item. The filter of zero resistance requires careful cleaning and lubrication. In the presence of the clutch hydraulic system it is necessary to conduct a visual inspection to identify possible problems and check the condition of the brake fluid. If the clutch is mechanical, you will need to adjust the tension of the clutch cable.

The view engine

Check condition of the engine should be started with external inspection for any leaks. Then check the plug condition. The color of the plug fouling you can pre-determine the quality of the fuel mixture entering the cylinder. Check the oil level. Then, according to the regulations, inspect valve clearance. Then you adjust the sync engine so that when you drive absent strong vibration and uneven heating of the cylinders.

The cables should be checked for ease of movement, no gaps (backlash), places, scuffing and creases, and if necessary, lubricated.

Check the condition of the wheels

First measure the tread depth and tire pressure, ensuring that they meet the recommended level. Next, check the ease of movement side steps, if necessary, grease it. If the motorcycle has a centre stand, also check the ease of movement and strength threaded fasteners. At the end check tension of wheel spokes and, if necessary, pulls the necessary time.

Separately, we examine the presence of any problems of lighting and signal equipment. Depending on the manufacturer hold tight bolting of the bike: shallow or deep (on bikes with high vibrations). The final touch – small test drive, during which check the safety of the motorcycle.
