People who are real bikers treat the motorcycle like a son and therefore keeping a motorcycle in good condition becomes one of their priorities both in the short and long term.
When we keep the motorcycle in good condition, that is, as if we had just bought it both inside and out, we will have a better functioning of all its parts, be it the engine, the gearbox, the the handles of it.
But the same does not happen if we do not take care of the motorcycle as it should be taken care of. If we don’t do this, the bike will start to give small faults, faults that will cause the bike to start giving problems that can bring you greater evils that are far from being taken as a joke.
A good example is that if you don’t check your motorcycle tires, you could get a puncture on the road, which in the best case scenario will make you late for an appointment or a job interview. However, in the worst case, a blowout could occur, loss of control of the motorcycle at high speed and therefore a fatal accident and one less.
With motorcycles you have to be even more careful than with cars, since cars have protection and on the motorcycle your body could hit the road directly, and you could easily leave your life on the road, since you would not be the first or the last. last you do it.
For this reason, it is crucial to have the motorcycle in good condition, as this can save the life of you and your passengers. For this reason, I have prepared this article for you, on the best tips to always have the motorcycle in perfect magazine condition.
Instructions to keep a motorcycle in good condition
- Engine: As in any motorized vehicle, the engine is the most important part of it. The engine is the object that allows the movement of the vehicle’s wheels, something that occurs in cars, motorcycles, airplanes… The gasoline engine of the motorcycle is more sensitive than that of the car, mainly because it is more vulnerable to the outside and to the particles of the air. The best way to keep the engine in the best possible condition is by performing periodic checks on it and its dependent elements. The dependent elements are those that make the engine work better or worse, such as air filters, which must be cleaned often. It also drives efficiently, to avoid accidents and to avoid over-revving the engine.
- Levers and brakes: Unlike what happens in cars, on motorcycles everything is controlled by hands. The motorcycles have levers on the handlebars that serve as a control panel, in which we have to accelerate, brake and make gear changes. For these reasons, it is crucial to always keep the motorcycle’s levers in perfect condition, in order to have the best possible performance on the road. Check the hoses, brakes and gearbox at least once a year, change gears without forcing the car and don’t hit unnecessary braking. Also check the brake cables, brake discs and other components dependent on it.
- Aesthetics: The aesthetics of the bike is also important, especially if you have a fancy bike, since it would be a shame if it was damaged and could not be shown. For example, a muddy motorcycle is not aesthetic (unless it is a motocross motorcycle and you come from competing). Therefore, try to maintain a minimum hygiene on the motorcycle, both in the chassis and in the other parts of it. It also keeps an eye on the knocks on the chassis, as it remembers that the chassis, in addition to being very aesthetic if it is in good condition, also protects the engine and other parts inside the motorcycle, for which it is essential that it always be in perfect condition. magazine, without bumps, scratches or anything like that.
- Tires and wheels: Now we are going for the tires and for the inner tube of the wheels. The wheels of motorcycles are much more sensitive than those of motorcycles, especially if it is a road motorcycle, so we must be very careful about these two things. Check your tire pressure often, don’t hit the brakes so you don’t wear the tires too much and always fill a basic puncture repair kit in case you get stranded on the road. Also avoid putting the motorcycle where it does not belong, that is, never put a road motorcycle through the countryside, since the tires it fits are not prepared for such rocky terrain.
