The rainy season like now, take care of the motor must be extra hard, the article is going to be if not treated easily damaged. For that we have to treat the motor well, we have to be smart to take care of the motor because if we neglect might be dangerous to the person of the rider.
Well, for those of you who are still confused to care for the motor in the rainy season, here are some tips on caring for Motor in the rainy season:
1. Wash the motorcycleHaving used the motor drive in the rain, you should wash it. Although not have much time, you should be a time to wash Though just flushed the whole body and other important parts
In addition to keeping up appearances, flushed and dry off the bike as well to prevent rust.
2. TireOnce completed through rain puddles, should you check the tire air pressure. Make sure the amount of pressure in accordance with manufacturer's standard.
Ban the pressure of the wind is less than the standard, so fragile premature wear. Because, with less pressure, the tread surface in direct contact with the road surface more and more.
At times like that, pull the motor too heavy and motorists usually pull the gas lever stronger. "As a result, the friction even more powerful. That's where the thin or bald tires fast, "explains Alex.
In addition to maintaining air pressure, you should also wash the tires. Brush the tire treads and sidewalls. This is in addition to eliminating the element of acid in rain water, as well as other elements such as mud or dirt on the tires.
Some impurities such as former detergent, oil, kerosene, gasoline, previously spilled on the road can be carried or rain puddles. The elements that exist in substance that triggers rapid tire rubber brittle.
3. ChainAnother part of the problem-prone motorcycle after driving in the rain is a chain. Especially motor that does not use the chain closed. Acidic rain triggered the rust on the devices.
On the other hand, after bulldoze holes covered puddles of rain, the chain too loose. Therefore, tighten the chain according to the standard settings. Then lubricate the chain with grease.
"We recommend using a lubricant grease because besides not splash, well preserved, although exposed to rain," advises Alex.
Engorgement of the chain also trigger rapid gear teeth blunt or broken. Therefore, when the driver pulled a lever, chain as dientak into overdrive.
4. Piston brake pads and brake discsBrake pads made of asbestos. Such materials when exposed to a lot of water will bubble and harden when dry.
As a result, the brake pedal feels hard on the brake when stepped on or even appear squeaking noise or other loud noises. "Therefore, after the bike washed and cleaned, run the motor and often stepping on the brake pedal so that the canvas is completely dry," said Alex.
So even with disc brakes on the front wheels. Disc brakes are open. Yet when driven hard in the rain, dirt stick to the brake pads or pistons.
If that happens, then the performance of the two components would not be optimal. Therefore, it is advisable to clean them of dirt after use in the rain. "You clean it with a high-pressure wind," explains Alex.
5. SparkPlugAfter the motor is complete is used, you should unplug the cop or rubber plugs cover then blow and wipe with clean water. Similarly, spark plug wires and spark plugs.
Clean the electrode or axis located at the hump plugs. "Cleaning the electrodes do not need every day after the motor is used, but clean up and cable cop had every day," said Alex.
6. Air filter boxAir is an essential ingredient for fuel combustion in the engine combustion chamber. When the device is wet with rain water entering or seeps into it, the air will mix with dew.
As a result, combustion was not perfect and the motor broke down. Therefore, wash and dry the device when the motor has been used in the rain. "For dilternya detachable motor, should be installed again," advises Alex.
7. ExhaustIn general, the inside of the muffler and exhaust will hollow neck when a lot of dirt stuck in that section. Especially when the dung is mixed with rain water.
Therefore, when the motor has bulldoze rainwater or flood and rain water entered the exhaust, water should be removed. Once the bike is washed, heat the engine. After that, spray oil into the exhaust and muffler olisi neck with grease. Then heat the motor again about 5 minutes.
8. Spokes of a wheelUse a clean towel to mengkeringkan wheel spokes are wet. If not, the radius of the wheel motor will be porous. Loss on the wheels did not look on the outside, but going on the rim.
9.Front / Rear brakeOften wet brakes will sound when exposed to water, sandpaper brake pads and drum brake grip, and in order to avoid the sound.
10.Body cableAvoid cable and socketnya body of water because it can cause a short-circuit that can damage electrical components.
Hopefully the above can be considered, so that the life of your motorcycle can take longer.
