How to save time with your motocross pre ride inspection

Before you ride, you should check the nuts and bolts on your motocross bike to make sure everything is tightened correctly. If you don’t before to long you’ll be missing something. Equipment failure may cause you to become stranded on the trail or track and depending on where it happens, may cause you to get injured.
Checking over your bike can be time consuming, so to make the process quicker for the next time, after you’ve properly torqued a nut and/or bolt, mark the surface beside the bolt or over the nut and bolt with a permanent marker as reference point. Then, the next time you ride, unless the mark on the nut and/or bolt isn’t lined up, you won’t need to retighten it. Most new motocross bikes come with marks in place. Make sure you use a marker which won’t fade or wear off but will be easily cleaned off when necessary.
