Is there a post to something like this because I cant find it. I am assuming do opposite of winterizing. Can anyone add to this

1. Uncover all intakes and exhaust
2. Oil Change
3. Tire Pressure
4. Install Battery
5. Lube Chain

FLUSH RADIATOR ?
BRAKE BLEED?

 

For me i ride about 6k miles during the summer so right before it i plan on doing the following.

Brake fluid change
Take all fairings off and clean everything
New chain, sprockets
New brakes
Make sure all bolts are tight
and possibly a coolant change if my manual says ill be at the point soon.

 

If you changed the oil before you put it away then no need to chage the oil again. It would just be a waste of $70 as the oil is fresh and clean and good to go. Yes check your air pressure, install charged battery, lube chain, check all your lights and horn then ride. Personally I don't think you need to change your brake fluid. Think about your car with how many miles you put on it and how old it is and your brakes on a car stop a lot more weight than your bike so if anything you should change the brake fluid on your car more than your bike. I think it would be a waste of time and money to change your brake fluid. I don't know how many miles you have on it but I think your coolant is fine. If you want to spend the time and money on changing it then you can but if you don't I doubt you will hurt anything at all.

 

I put the key in it, start it and go. Lube Chain and Change Oil when it is required.

Some o the other common sense stuff (make sure tires have air) etc....

 

+1 to oil being changed IF ITS OLD. Besides that, check your fluids, and if they need to be changed then by all means change them. Tires are most important though. Make sure they held air all winter long haha.

 

I agree with everything stated already, and I definitely second checking the bolts. Get out your torque wrench and shop manual and tighten the important stuff (hand controls, wheels, brakes, rear sets, shift linkage, etc.).

 

I do the brakes and lube the chain. Change the oil when needed and all other fluids when needed.
