 Mesa Welcome to the Apache Newsletter, for October 2011. The Heat is starting to let up. The mornings are cooling down and the afternoons are becoming bearable. Its time to get out and ride! Make a plan to go out and take advantage of the nice weather. this is arguably the best time of the year, so get out and ride!

Preventative maintenance
Saving you money in the long run
Engine As Always, Preventive Maintenance Goes a Long Way

When it comes to your ride, a little observation goes a very long way toward reducing large bills at the shop. We've all read in our owner's manuals that we should be performing daily safety-checks in addition to our regular service intervals. At the shop, it is very plain to see that most just never take a moment to sit down in front of the bike and LOOK.

When you are eye level with your bike, you should look at:

  • Tail Light and Brake Light operation
  • Headlight and Turn Signal operation
  • Fork seals, looking for oil on the back sides of the forks
  • Fork tubes, is the smooth surface on the tube pocked with rust, dirt or dings that cause leaks?
  • Brake/Clutch Fluid, is it low or leaking? If it is low, be sure to check your pad wear because the more they wear, the lower the fluid level will appear
  • Brake Pads, is the pad material thinner than a few millimeters?
  • Tread on your tires, are the wear marks flush with the tread channels? Do you have any punctures? What is the tire pressure?
  • Missing/loose bolts, in your footrests, brake pedal, shifter, side stands
  • Fluid leaks are common, but usually very easy fixes and dangerous to allow to worsen
  • Chain and sprocket, looking for wear and chain tension. Excessive chain tension can lead to uneven chain wear, improper shifting, pulsing ride and strange vibrations.
  • Check your battery. Make sure the connections are clean, tight and free of corrosion

    Engine Periodically you should also: Clean & wax the bike, this protects the paint and chrome from the elements

    Use a leather cleaner on your seats. The Arizona sun is unforgiving on your seats. Use a leather cleaning product periodically to keep them fresh.

    Of course always be sure to follow your vehicle's scheduled maintenance, and be sure to take it in to the shop if you cannot fix it yourself!

  • Know the Law!
    Arizona statutes on traffic lanes
    Kx450

    Lets face it, getting a ticket is not fun. That is why it is important to know the law to avoid getting in trouble! In 2011 the Arizona Legislature updated some of our motorcycle laws. Here is the official section from the Arizona Revised Statutes

    A.R.S. § 28-903 (2011)

    § 28-903. Operation of motorcycle on laned roadway; exceptions

    A. All motorcycles are entitled to the full use of a lane. A person shall not drive a motor vehicle in such a manner as to deprive any motorcycle of the full use of a lane. This subsection does not apply to motorcycles operated two abreast in a single lane.

    B. The operator of a motorcycle shall not overtake and pass in the same lane occupied by the vehicle being overtaken.

    C. A person shall not operate a motorcycle between the lanes of traffic or between adjacent rows of vehicles.

    D. A person shall not operate a motorcycle more than two abreast in a single lane.

    E. Subsections B and C do not apply to peace officers in the performance of their official duties. Kx450

    Know the law and avoid a ticket! Or if an officer pulls you over for lane violations, you will be able to say,"But officer I was adhering to Arizona Revised Statute section 28-903 when I overtook that vehicle." Of course we don't recommend being a smart "a" in-front of an officer, that just isn't cool.
