In our most recent blog, Daniel Morris – Master Technician at mono motorcycles, gave some very important & helpful advice about preparing your motorcycle for winter. One of the area’s he focused on, was servicing.
If you are riding throughout the winter, we highly recommend servicing your motorcycle.
Checking such things as the battery, which will take a hammering over the winter months, is essential. Cold engines take a lot to start. Worn batteries will leave you out in the cold.
Checking the coolant can be awkward on most motorcycles, but leave it unchecked & if the antifreeze content is too low, it can cause catastrophic damage to a motor.
Brakes can also take a battering. It’s worth pulling the pads & adding ‘copper slip’ to the sliders, changing the fluid & cleaning the pistons. Chains are also out in the elements, so a good coating of chain lube will help.
