Here are some great maintenance and how-to tips for your motorcycle from Honda. Consider this your pre- and post-ride checklist:
- Keep your bike clean
- Tires: Check for recommended air pressure and inspect for excessive wear or any other damage
- Brakes and Clutch: Check for smooth operation and proper adjustment/positioning
- Cables and Controls: Make sure the throttle and all control cables (brakes, clutch, engine stop, lights) operate smoothly
- Lighting: Make sure your brake, head- and taillights, and turn indicators are all in working order
- Fuel and Oil: Make sure your gas is topped off and your oil is filled to the recommended level
- Chain: Keep your chain properly tensioned, clean, and lubricated as recommended by your Owner's Manual
- Sidestand/Centerstand: Make sure your bike's sidestand (and centerstand if your bike has one) operates freely and with no binding, and make sure their springs hold them fully up when not in use
