Do the tires have adequate pressure for driving? Apart from the importance of this, it is necessary to attend to if there are cracks in them or if the footprint is deep enough.
Check the oil filter, coolant and shock absorbers
If they are perfectly cared for, these elements can extend the useful life of a motorcycle. It is recommended that the fork oil be in ideal conditions for driving.
The chain must be taut and lubricated.
The motorcycle manufacturer has established the necessary level of tension in the chain. Even so, it doesn't hurt to check and adjust it, especially before a long trip.
Control the motorcycle at all times
Devices such as Detector are used to know where the vehicle is at all times, if it has been lent to a third party or, directly, has been stolen.
Change the battery every two years
