· PRE LONG TRIP BIKE CHECK OVER |
Eventually you have made the decision to do it, you are going on a long trip. |
Ok, so it is only 2000km’s. The fact is you are going on your bike and the last thing you want to worry about is “your bike”. |
Let us give it a “once over”. It is the attention to small detail that counts here. The obvious like tyre pressures, oil levels etc. normally get checked regularly but battery condition, drive belt, tyre condition etc also needs attention. |
Often due to the vibration on these bikes screws, bolts and nuts find a way to loosen themselves. |
They are normally fitted originally with lock tite or something similar but that doesn’t mean they can’t come loose. |
Rather let us check it over, most bikers don’t carry any emergency tools! |
