FOR BIKE MAINTENANCE THERE ARE THE FOLLOWING TIPS:
- Regularly check the tyres and air pressure.
- Check your tyres for cuts and scrapes on the tyres that might result in a blowout. Also keep checking the tyre treads once every week and the wheels are balanced and the alignment checked if the wear is uneven.
- Check the engine oil level every day before you ride your bike. The oil level should be between upper and lower marks. Top up the engine oil if required and also check for oil leakage.
- Check the two-wheeler body surface regularly to ensure good surface finish. Before cleaning the bike, see to it that the ignition switch unit, H.T. Coil and silencer are covered with plastic sheets.
- While cleaning the bike, use low pressure water. The painted surfaces must be washed only with water.
- Take periodic checks of the motorcycle battery for a long life. Check the electrolyte levels against the top and bottom markings on the battery shell. Top up with distilled water. Check for battery leakage.
- Clean the sparks regularly. You can clean the spark points with emery paper.
- Keep the carburetor clean by regularly cleaning the carburetor float chamber and other parts. Clean the jets by forcing compressed air through them.
- Keep the brakes spaced in the right way. If kept too tight or too loose, is dangerous. Brakes must be tightened as per the rider's requirement.
- Check the cables frequently for kinks, bends and frayed ends. Replace if the strands appear broken.
- Ensure that the insurance cover is done in the valid time frame.
