Winter can be hard on your motorcycle brakes 🌨️
Cold temperatures, moisture, road salt, and long periods of storage can contribute to brake corrosion, contaminated brake fluid, sticking calipers, and worn or damaged components.
Before your first ride of the season, don’t just check the tires and battery. Check your entire brake system. Inspect your brake pads, rotors, brake fluid, lines, calipers, and master cylinder for signs of wear, corrosion, leaks, or damage.
A few minutes of motorcycle brake maintenance now can help prevent bigger problems later and make sure your bike is ready when riding season returns.
