14. Start your engine and let the bike run for a minute or two in
order to circulate the oil. Shut the engine off, wait about five minutes, and then check the level again. Add additional oil until it is again level with the red dot in the sight glass. Replace your oil cap, and you’re all set!
15. Now, tires! Get your tire gauge and air source ready. (Your
most accurate reading will be when your tires are cool.)
16. Unscrew your valve cap and check the pressure in your tires
using the gauge. The correct amount of pressure will again be determined by checking your M.O.M. Also note that a change in the outside tem- perature will affect your tire pressure, as well as any added weight on the bike (passenger, camping gear, etc.), so be sure to check them right before you’re ready for departure.
17. Using your air source, put in the needed amount of air, and then
recheck the pressure one more time to be sure the amount is correct.
18. Recap the valve stem, and you’re ready to go!
The ice is melting, the air is warm-
ing, and we are all busy mapping out our adventures for the new riding season to come. I challenge you to take a time-out, step into your garage and shout “Carpe Diem!” Then get those gloves on and “experience to the utmost”…“without fear” some simple wrenching on your two- wheeled steed. Hey, if The Fashioni- sta can handle it, so can you!
