I grew up in a very motorcycle oriented family. My father simply loves motorcycle and so are my other siblings. Only my mom and my eldest sister can be counted out of loving motorcycles. This must be the reason why I am oriented with how to recondition the motorcycle as my father gets serious into his motorcycle. Let us see how I learned reconditioning from my father and how you could apply it to your motorcycles as well.
Reconditioning your motorcycle seems hard at first but it will be easy if you just take time in organizing what you need to do. Of course part of the agenda is to make sure that your engine will be fully functional and smooth for that matter. It wouldn't be too hard if you focus yourself into your pre-set goals.
The number one thing you should consider is to buy a manual for your motorcycle. I often see my father looking into manuals whenever he gets into his business of reconditioning his motorcycle. It is the repair manual that you should be looking at when you want to recondition your motorcycle. From there you will see detailed instructions on parts and how you can maintain each of them. Repair manuals are really handy and very helpful especially for people who start without any knowledge about motorcycles at all.
While you are at it, clean the motorcycle parts and get rid of greases from them because it is one factor of a poor functioning engine if functional at all. Once you get rid of oils and grease, you can oil them again using a new one that way you make its function softer than it ever was before you change the oil. If you have stored your motorcycle longer than usual, it is advisable you do this once you are on the reconditioning.
Things that are easier for you that need to be replaced should be done. For example, you may want to replace spark plugs and other motorcycle parts that seem easier for you to handle. Doing this does not necessarily require you to use special tools. You can also buy new tires if needed be especially if the older one has already worn out. Good tires will make driving relatively easy and safe. Another thing that can be easily replaced is the motorcycle battery. In order to make your motorcycle fully functional, you need a fully functional battery too.
Check every part and leave not a single think unchecked. This is especially if your motorcycle has been stored. Part of the things that is important to be checked are the bearings. Check for wiggles and relatively unstable stance, if the result is positive, you may want replacing them to get rid of the looseness and instability. But if it is something that can be fixed, try fixing them first.
Sand down rusts with sand paper so that surfaces will become smoother as well as remove some dirt that has been on it for a long time.
