by // Apr 7, 2015 How to inspect and inflate your motorcycle tires the right way With motorcycle season starting, one of the most important things you can do to prevent crashes costs little or no money: Make sure your tires are inflated, according to the Motorcycle Industry Council. Riders in the south may have kept their motorcycles on the road through the winter months, but for most others, motorcycles that spent the cold winter months in hibernation are about to come back to life again. Tuning up your bike, lubricating it, and ensuring your safety equipment is still in good shape are keys to staying safe on motorcycles. The number of motorcycle accidents each year is staggering. In New York alone, 171 people were killed and more than 5,000 were injured in the 2013 season alone, according to the Department of Motor Vehicles. Nearly 3.4 percent of motorcycle crashes in New York that year were fatal. In New  York, you’re also required to have a safety helmet and eye protection.

In Pennsylvania, helmets are optional for riders 21 years or older who have two years of experience.  Under inflated tires can make a motorcycle difficult to handle and sluggish and over inflated tires reduce road grip and traction, according to MIC. Check that your motorcycle insurance policy is up to date and provides enough coverage for you, the cost of replacing the bike, and even lost or stolen safety equipment. motorcycle sales belleville ontarioMany motorcycle owners decrease c overage over the winter months. motorcycle rear tire wobbleUnfortunately, it’s easy to forget to restore your policy to reasonable coverage levels when the new season begins.mens cordura motorcycle jacket

Look for uneven wear: While checking the treads, look to see if one side of the tread is wearing faster than the other. This uneven wear can create dangerous conditions when riding. Inspect for cracks, bulges: If you see cracks forming on the tire or bulges, that’s a time to either replace the tire, or have it professionally inspected. A blowout can be a very bad thing on a motorcycle. Check the age of your tire: Time to Retire Your Tire? Generally speaking, most tires should be replaced every six or seven years (the U.S. Department of Transportation recommends changing tires on your car once they reach 10 years old). If you can’t remember how old your tire is, check out the handy information on the sidewall, which should include a “born-on-date.” It’s typically a three or four-digit code. If a tire reads, 2908, that would translate into the 29th week of 2008. If a tire has a three digit date, like 505, that would indicate the 50th week of 2004 (or potentially 1994, 1984, etc.).
