1. Install New Tires

Tires are the only point of contact of your motorcycle with the road. They are made of high quality rubber that provide both grip and feel for the rider. Gripping the pavement on a small contact patch, tires are instrumental in your ride to higher speeds. Being on the road all the time wears out the tires, drastically reducing the performance of the vehicle. Putting on a fresh set of rubber will help you realize the difference in speed and performance of the motorcycle. Having said that, even the new set won’t provide the desired traction if they aren’t properly inflated. Make it a point to check the tire pressure every time you decide to take your bike for a spin.

2. Upgrade Brakes Pads and Lines

Riding a motorcycle not only means cranking on the gas, but also how well you control your braking. Inferior brake pads and rubber brake lines have the potential to spoil your joy ride. If your bike has these, take time and upgrade them. Upgrade the rubber lines to braided stainless steel brake lines. They can better resist deformation and flex, resulting in faster and long lasting response. You must also trade the inferior brake pads for high quality HH-grade brake pads as they fade less and offer better grab and hold.

3. Add Frame Sliders

Frame sliders are affordable elements that not only protects your motorcycle from mishaps, but also assist in controlling the motorcycle when it goes down. Installing the frame slider can allow you to focus on your technique and push your motorcycle to the limits.

4. Adjust Suspension

Stock motorcycles are designed to suit average individual size and weight. The vehicle responds differently to each individual owing to their size and weight. On the other hand, the new motorcycles on the market come with adjustment options such as preload or compression/rebound damping. You can easily adjust the vehicle for your desired weight preference even at home.
