magley64 Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 Jacket, helmet, gauges, stereo, starter button, kickstand, shifter, clutch...in that order...now based on how many miles I've ridden, and how the bike feels while riding i will inspect the chain, the brakes, etc...tires usually get checked once a week if riding a lot, chain gets lubed once a week or every 2 weeks depending on miles and weather.I've gotten to know my bike very well over theast 40,000 miles, I can feel or hear pretty much anything going on with the bike before it becomes a MAJOR problem.

madcat6183 Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 I make sure my back protector is on/zip up suit, start the bike, put my ear plugs in, helmet on, gloves on, recheck helmet, drop front stand, drop rear stand, head to start line/flag man.I check PSI's after every session and make adjustments, fuel every 2 sessions, oil start of day and lunch, brakes every time I get on, same with clutch.

C-bus Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 Honestly.... visually check tires, secure wallet, phones, gun and then go. I commute quite a bit and doing the necessary safety checks has been lost in the routine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSparky Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 yah... i'm generally in a hurry to go. and rolling the bike back and forth to slowly turn 90 degrees in my living room, and then squeeze it out the door generally gets my flop sweat all floppy and sweaty. so i just wanna get on and go. but, when rolling down the sidewalk, i can hear the gas sloshing and gauge how much i got. oil has never been low, so i don't feel the need to check that except when i do my chain lube every other week ish. coolant always worries me at first glance when its cold, but after it's hot, it's up to par. i never leave home without: jeans, boots, jacket, helmet, gloves, wallet, phone, and usually beat-stick.
