Before you ride, you should inspect your motorcycle. This step-by-step video makes it easy. The professionals at the MSF call it "T-CLOCS," as in Tires, Controls, Lights, Oil, Chassis and Stands. A few minutes of prep can keep your motorcycle running right, keep you from getting stranded on the side of the road, and maybe even prevent you from getting injured. Combining basic, regular upkeep, along with following the service intervals in the bike's owner's manual, can also lower your repair and maintenance costs. Some servicing on your motorcycle requires a professional, qualified technician. But, with a little effort, some basic tools, and this video, there's a lot you can comfortably do on your own, and you'll get to know your own bike better.
