Things you do after or before every ride.

What are some of the routine things you do before or after riding?

Before I go riding i check the oil, gas, lights and see how clean it is. Lol.
After when I come back I let it cool. Then check the gas, oil, and see if everything is still there. Then I wash it. Then dry it. Then I check the bearing carrier, engine, look for anything thats looks akward and loose. Then I polish it.

Take the axle out and pack it full of grease.

Before I go, I check the normal things: oil level, fuel, tire air pressures, chain, and make sure everything looks alright and in order. I also make it a point to do a quick ride down the street to make sure the bike is running alright.

When I get back, I first wash and dry it. I then proceed to check the oil again, see how much fuel I used, and do a once over of the quad again to make sure nothing looks damaged or strange in any way (usually look pretty close at the swingarm skidplate cause I always seem to hit a rock or two while riding - it's getting pretty close to the brake rotor, time for a new one). When all looks good, I lube the chain and put her away for next time.
