Motorcycle Pro Tips and Life Hacks

I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say there are life hacks for everything, and the motorcycle life is included. DIY motorcycle tips and mods, home decor and crafts, and do-it-yourself helmet expression are just a few. But, when it comes to making your day-to-day rides and motorcycle maintenance just a little bit easier, sometimes it takes something impossibly simple to make all the difference.

Check out these motorcycle life hacks, and feel free to share your own in a comment! While you're at it, check out our other DIY motorcycle tips.

Trade in or sell a motorcycle the easy way, get your free cash offer.

Don't get screwed.

Easily keep track of all the screws you remove when doing maintenance on your motorcycle. Just poke them into a labeled piece of cardboard. (Credit and shout out to Reddit u/tgptgp for this life hack.)

What a wipeout.

On the road and need to clean up all those bugs you killed? Use baby wipes. They’re easy to carry and work great for a short-term cleaning solution for pretty much every surface, leathers and helmets included.

Take a stand.

Crush a coke can and put it under your kickstand to keep it from sinking into soft ground or sliding on unstable surfaces.

Head in a fog?

Use dandruff shampoo, like Head & Shoulders, to wash your visor. After rinsing, it will act as an anti-fog coating.

Head and Shoulders is a defogger life hack for motorcycle helmets.

Baby it's cold outside.

Does cold weather have your gloved fingers a little numb? Wear tight-fitting latex gloves under your riding gloves for an extra layer of lightweight insulation.
