Here's my checklist for getting my motorcycle ready for the season

Tires
I check not only the tread but also the overall condition of the tires. Even if the tires are almost new, it's still best to inspect them carefully.

Brakes
I always check the brake system:
brake fluid level
fluid color
pad and rotor wear

Battery
I check the charge level and recharge if necessary. I also clean the terminals to ensure they are clean and securely fastened.

Suspension
I inspect the front fork and rear shock absorber for leaks, and check the wheel bearings, play, and unusual noises.

Oil and fluids
I change the engine oil. I also check other technical fluids.

Chain
I clean, lubricate, and adjust the tension.

Appearance and protective film
I decided to freshen up the appearance a bit. I replaced the protective film on the tank because it already had scratches and chips.
I didn't do anything drastic, but the bike now looks much fresher. I ordered it from a company I found online.

Overall, the prep wasn't too difficult, but with this checklist, I'm starting the season feeling much more at ease.

Question for you:
How do you prepare your motorcycles?
What do you look for first when buying a motorcycle?
How do you improve the appearance of your motorcycle? Or maybe you prefer a simple yet stylish look?
Perhaps you have some must-haves of your own that should be added? I'd love to read your answers and hear about your experiences!
