Fall Riding Season is Here — Is Your Bike Ready?
Fall in Colorado is a rider’s paradise. The roads open up, the weather cools down, and the views from Peak to Peak Highway or Big Thompson Canyon are unbeatable. But before you gear up for that crisp mountain cruise, it’s critical to ensure your motorcycle is road-ready. At Thunder Mountain Harley-Davidson, our Service Department provides expert motorcycle maintenance that helps Colorado riders extend the season—and avoid costly issues down the line.
Why Motorcycle Maintenance Matters More in Fall
As temperatures shift and daylight shortens, your bike's performance can take a hit—especially in the high-altitude conditions of Northern Colorado. Here’s why seasonal motorcycle service is a must:
- Tire pressure drops in cooler temps, affecting traction
- Battery capacity decreases in cold weather
- Oil and fluid changes become more important to maintain smooth operation
- Brake performance can lag without proper inspection
- Visibility accessories, like lights and lenses, need testing for shorter days
Staying ahead of these issues keeps you safe and extends the life of your Harley-Davidson® motorcycle.
