Four Ways to Protect Your New Motorcycle

Here at Taboo Harley-Davidson®, we understand the desire to protect your new motorcycle. That is why we have put together this list of tips on how to keep your new bike safe and in good condition. Follow these steps in order to keep your new motorcycle in the best condition possible.

1. Get Warranty Coverage

New motorcycles typically come with a warranty of some kind. Make sure that you understand exactly what the warranty covers at the time of purchase. Some types of damage may be completely covered, while others may require that you pay for a certain proportion.

2. Ask About Insurance

Getting insurance for your motorcycle isn’t just a good way to help protect it, it is also required by law. Although you can opt for minimum coverage, a more comprehensive package means more protection for your bike. Don’t be afraid to shop around and see what different companies offer.

3. Finalize a Service Plan

The right service plan will help your motorcycle to run better and more safely. Though it may cost money to hire professional mechanics now, in the long run, you’ll save due to your motorcycle being in better overall condition and not needing more extensive repair work.

4. Follow a Safety Checklist

Finally, you should prioritize safety while on the road, both to protect your bike and to protect yourself. Create a safety checklist of all your bike’s critical systems and make sure that each one is operating properly before you go on a ride. These include your motorcycle’s tires, fluids like engine oil and fuel, its braking system, and the condition of the throttle.
