Technical Vocational Teacher Education. Here I am to tell about Motorcycle Maintenance Tips. and What are some important maintenance and servicing tasks that should be regularly performed on motorcycles to ensure their optimal performance and longevity? To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your motorcycles, several important maintenance and servicing tasks you should perform regularly including: 1. REGULAR OIL CHANGES 2. AIR FILTER CLEANING REPLACEMENT 3. SPARK PLUG INSPECTION/REPLACEMENT 4. CHAIN MAINTENANCE 5. TIRE INSPECTION AND INFLATION 6. BRAKE SYSTEM MAINTENANCE 7. BATTERY MAINTENANCE
1.REGULAR OIL CHANGES
Motorcycles require periodic oil changes to maintain proper lubrication and prevent engine damage. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for the oil type and change intervals. 4 REASONS TO GET AN OIL CHANGE: 1. BETTER GAS MILEAGE 2. REDUCES ENGINE WEAR AND BUIL-UP 3. LONGER ENGINE LIFE 4. PROVIDES ENGINE LUBRICATION As you can see, keeping up with proper oil changes is quite essential for the well-being of your motorcycle/car. Just as humans need water to survive, cars need oil to run properly. 2. AIR FILTER CLEANING REPLACEMENT The air filter prevents dust and debris from entering the engine. Clean or replace it as recommended to ensure proper air flow and prevent engine performance issues. Regularly clean the air filter on your diesel engine to save your money. 3. SPARK PLUG INSPECTION/REPLACEMENT Spark plugs play a crucial role in igniting the air-fuel mixture. Check them regularly for wear and replace them according to the manufacturer's recommendations to maintain optimal engine performance. 4. CHAIN MAINTENANCE The chain needs to be properly lubricated and tensioned to ensure smooth power transfer. Clean the chain regularly and apply lubricant as needed, while keeping it properly tensioned.
Poor maintenance can cause premature wear or damage to
the drive chain and sprockets. The drive chain should be checked and lubricated as part of the Pre-ride Inspection. Under severe usage, or when the vehicle is ridden in unusually dusty or muddy areas, more frequent maintenance will be necessary. 5. TIRE INSPECTION AND INFLATION Check the tires for wear, cracks, or punctures regularly. Maintain the recommended tire pressure for optimal grip, handling, and safety. A tire has 3 basic functions: to carry, guide and transmit. The purpose of tire inspections is to check for tire issues that can be dangerous for drivers to drive with, such as tire punctures. 6. BRAKE SYTEM MAINTENANCE Inspect the brake pads, rotors, and brake fluid levels regularly. Replace worn-out brake pads and flush the brake fluid as recommended by the manufacturer to ensure reliable stopping power. Without working brakes, your car simply won't be able to stop in time. This can cause anything from a small fender bender to a major accident, neither of which is worth the risk. Regular brake maintenance helps ensure that your brakes engage every time you press on the brake pedal. 7. BATTERY MAINTENANCE Keep the battery terminals clean and tight. Check the battery's charge level and use a battery tender if the motorcycle is not frequently used to prevent battery drain and extend its lifespan. By incorporating these maintenance tips into your routine, you can ensure that your motorcycle stays in top condition, providing you with a safe and enjoyable riding experience for years to come. Remember, regular maintenance not only enhances performance but also contributes to the longevity and resale value of your motorcycle. Thank you for watching ‘till the end, Ride safe riders!
