•
Tire pressure: Some tires lose air very slowly and a soft
tire, although it might not be obvious, is a major safety issue.
•
Fluid levels: It's always good to check the engine oil,
transmission oil, and brake fluid, etc. after an idle spell.
They're also easier to check after the bike's been sitting for a
while and all the fluids have settled to their lowest point.
•
Air filters: Make sure they're clean and that small creatures
haven't taken up residence in the housing.
•
The battery: It's not unusual for the battery to get low or
even go dead after sitting for an extended period. Check the
water in the battery and make sure it has enough charge left
to start the bike. It may need to be charged or replaced.
•
Lights: Make sure they're all working and visible.
