How to Get Your Harley Running for the Spring

How to Get Your Harley Running for the Spring

SM*SH -The snow is finally melting here in the Northeast, and you know what that means. That’s right: It's time to take your Harley-Davidson® for a ride. Of course, you'll want to protect your Harley from any harm when it first awakens from its winter hibernation.

Here's a look at how to get your Harley-Davidson® running for the spring time.

Fluids

Just like a car, it's a good idea to make sure your Harley-Davidson® is fully stocked with the fluids it needs to operate effectively and safely. If you are unsure of the specific type of fluids you need to use, then consult your Harley-Davidson® dealer or Harley-Davidson® owner's manual to get accurate information.

The fluids that need to be checked include your oil, brake fluids, radiator coolant, and gasoline, which can become depleted over the long winter. Even if you have oil remaining, it's a good idea to change it before the busy season ahead.

Tire Pressure

Always check your tire pressure. This will help you maximize control of your Harley and increase your gas mileage this year. This is especially important after the bike has been sitting idle for a few months.

Recharge Battery

Batteries have a tendency to die out if they sit for a long time in cold weather. If this has happened to you, you'll need to recharge it before you take a cruise through Philadelphia.

Fuel Additives

Some motorcycle owners encourage you add fuel additives before the spring season. Of course, before putting anything in your motorcycle, you should consult with your Harley-Davidson® dealer or manual.
