With warmer weather on its way, plenty of Albertans in Edmonton, Red Deer and province-wide gearing up to hide the highway on their motorcycle this summer; knowing how to get the most out of your bike often comes down to knowing what parts to upgrade. At Central Alberta Paint Supplies (CAPS), we’re here to help you hit the pavement and rev up for adventure all season long.
Below, we’ll look at the components that can help you tweak your ride for success. Read on to learn more.
Exhaust Systems
Exhaust systems play a huge role in performance, and upgrading to a higher-end component is a great way to get more out of your ride. With manufacturers like Harley-Davidson, Yahama, and Honda all offering solid solutions you can find right here at CAPS, you can easily upgrade your rig and make sure you’ve got everything you need to announce your arrival when you hit the road.
Air Filters
If your engine isn’t able to breathe properly, your performance is going to suffer.
Aftermarket air filters from manufacturers like Arlen Ness are designed to increase air intake, resulting in improved horsepower and fuel efficiency.
Suspension Upgrades
Alberta’s roads aren’t always kind to your suspension system, and whether you’re an urban rider, highway fiend, or prefer the rural route, making sure your bike is ready for whatever pits and potholes you may find is key. Suspension upgrades are essential to extending the lifespan of your bike, and, of course, keeping you safe and comfortable while riding.
Braking Systems
Your brakes are key for safety and performance. From racing to standard commuting, the quality of your brakes will determine how quickly you can stop in a wide variety of conditions, and should always be a top priority whenever you’re looking to upgrade your experience. Stay on top of routine maintenance, and never delay a replacement should it become necessary.
Lighting Systems
Finally, in order to ride safely and effectively, visibility is key.
Upgrading your motorcycle’s lighting system with LED lights and routinely replacing any lights that may begin to dim etc, is crucial to ensuring you can navigate properly on the road.
Stay On Track to Stay Safe
Worn-out and worn-down parts are one of the biggest dangers to motorcyclists. As we gear up to hit the road, always take the time to evaluate and assess the quality of your bike’s components before riding. Seasonal tune-ups are key for ensuring your motorcycle is ready to run properly and give you the chance to spot any issues before you’re put at risk.
