Maintain Your Mini/Midi Moto
Taking care of a mini or midi moto isn't difficult, but it will make your bike shine.
Contents
Steps
- Clean the body work of the bike, such as the fairings. This is a first pass, so just get the big stuff off and don't worry about details yet.
- Clean the outside of the engine.
- Clean the body again, as necessary.
- Polish the body work and leave polish/wax on to give an extra layer.
- Check your tire pressure. Remember that this is for safety as well as tire life.
- Rub any rust off using memory paper.
- Start the bike and allow it to run for a few minutes after washing.
Tips
- This is a good time to perform a careful safety check on the whole bike.
Warnings
- Ride safely for the first few minutes after cleaning. The tires could be slippery if they are still wet.
- Always ride safely. If you don't, you'll damage more than just the bike.
