Motorcycle Maintenance Tips In The Rainy Season

    The weather is now very difficult to predict. Sometimes the heat, but it can also rain. When it rains usually motor Bikes will get soaked. And if you have this, would not want to have to wash motor Bikes that have been soaked. Because, when the motor let Bikes in wet conditions, can-can occur rust on some parts of the motor Bikes.

    Whatever you have in Bikes prepare and keep in rainy conditions. Here are tips on caring for motorcycle in the rain is suggested by the Technical Service Advisor YMKI West Java, April Priatno.

    1. Tire

    In wet weather, Bikes must check the condition of motorcycle tires. The first is the wind pressure. Adjust tire pressure and do not let the Bikes motorcycle tires motorcycle is less wind. This is to maintain the stability of the motor when the streets are wet. Second is a track tire. If the path is thin or bald tires, then Bikes should replace it. Because the thin tires would be fatal and motor speed to be slippery.

    1. Brake lining

    When the rainy season, brake traction will be reduced due to wet. When the brake Bikes is up, immediately replace the brake. Do not let the brake light because it can cause an accident while doing brake impromptu Bikes.

    1. Chain

    For open-chain, lubricate the chain that has been exposed to rain and dries quickly so as not to wear. Little by little, the rain water will shrink the lubricant on the chain Bikes. Indirectly, the rain water can erode the lubricant in the chain and can cause dry chain.

    1. Plug

    Make sure the spark plugs properly closed Bikes by the head of the spark plug. Head of the spark plug serves as a deterrent to ingress of water when the rain or when the road flooded.

    1. Box filter

    When Bikes removing filter box at the carburetor, then to hope that the rainy season before replacing the filter box. If the box filter is not installed, rain water can go straight into the carburetor and can cause the motor stalled.

    1. Exhaust

    Do not let the neck muffler in wet conditions. If left unchecked, could exhaust neck rusty and porous. Make sure the exhaust neck dry after rain or flooding.

    1. The radius of the wheel

    Use a clean cloth to mengkeringkan spokes of a wheel is wet. If not, the fingers on the wheel Bikes will be porous. Porous on the rim is not visible on the outside, but it occurs in the rim.

    Maintenance is easy to maintain the condition of the motor Bikes still excellent. Do not be lazy and assume trivial motor maintenance problems in the rain. Clean Motor Bikes that have been exposed to rain and make sure the cloth to dry.

Motorcycle Maintenance

    There are times that my new Honda XRM motorcycle is neglected. I forgot to wash it. Maybe in a week, I wash it just twice.
    However, it might be true its cleanliness is not maintained, but I can�t afford to neglect its maintenance. During the break-in period, I changed engine oil when it reaches the first 500 kilometers mark, next when it reached the 1,000 kilometers mark.
    When the mileage marked 2,000 I changed again the engine oil and brought it to the motorcycle mechanic for tune-up and check-up. Then after that, the schedule of the change oil will be during the time when the mileage marks every 1,000 kilometers.
    As of writing this post, the mileage marked already its 4,000 kilometers travel. I already changed the engine oil and will bringing it again to the motorcycle engine mechanic for another tune-up process and check-up.
    Just take a look at the photo below. That�s my dog, �Jurus� watching
    Okay, just for your information, I am using the Honda 4T motorcycle engine oil.
    I better use the oil carrying the Honda brand just to be safe. I just don�t want to take the risk of using other engine oil although they have the same quality which are made for the 4-stroke engine motorcycle.
    But not only the maintenance for the engine that I never missed to do. I also frequently apply chain oil for the chain. And I am using here the Singer oil.
    I really want to use oil which is intended for the chain. But the mechanic said that it�s just fine to use the Singer oil.
    So, everyday before I drive the motorcycle, I first check the chain and its looseness and then apply some oil for better lubrication and to lengthen the life of the chain and the chain�s gear.
    This is to make sure that the motorcycle is safe to ride on, to avoid any accident.
    Just want to remind you�. Learn to drive defensively.
