Here are some of the steps we recommend our customers take to ensure that their motorcycles continue to perform the way they should long after purchasing.
Check your Tires
The Harley- Davidson® CVO™ motorcycle caters to road lovers who enjoy spending their time traveling across long distances. That’s why proper tire care is crucial to your riding experience and should be taken into consideration before every ride. Ensure you’re frequently giving your tires an inspection so you can identify any cracks, breaks, leaks, or other forms of damage. You should also make a habit of checking your tire pressure to reduce the risk of strain on your motorcycle which could lead to a blowout or accident on the road. This will protect you from injuries in the long run and also save you money on costly repairs.
Change your Oil
Even the most formidable bike like the CVO needs healthy and clean oil to give you the best performance every single time. Changing your oil as recommended is a great way to keep your engine healthy and can easily be done using your user’s manual. Allowing oil that is contaminated with gunk and debris will hurt your engine and could result in your bike completely shutting down during a ride. Not only can this cause irreparable damage, but it also makes you vulnerable to being struck by another vehicle or rider if any mishaps occur while riding. Consult your manual to learn when to change your oil and what type of oil is best to keep your bike going.
Wash your Motorcycle
Many riders love the look of a bike that’s seen its fair share of road time and has accumulated some dirt as proof. While this may create a rugged aesthetic it also puts your bike at risk of corrosion due to the moisture that mud and dirt trap against your bike. Allowing dust to accumulate on your bike could also result in harmful particles entering its filters and causing further damage. The Harley-Davidson® CVO™ features a variety of colors to suit your particular style. It’s best to protect it by washing your bike every time you notice too much dirt accumulating on its surface.
