Two-wheeled vehicles, or more commonly referred to as the motorcycle is currently more dominate the streets. Besides the price is relatively cheaper than a car, motorcycle is a vehicle that is practical to take anywhere. With technology the engine is getting better, this time the motor is also robust to travel across the province. Let's see now many, the motor with a larger cylinder volume and use a cooling system water cooler. But sometimes someone negligent attention to the motor because of busyness. With little time to take care of, ordinary higher treatment will be inevitable. If you want your own motorcycle engine last longer so not much to pay a lot for the repair, the following care tips.
1. If you buy a new bike.
Do not let the dealer does not take advantage of the first free treatment on newly purchased motorcycle. Usually given free servicing oil and 3 times the road. The first at KM 500, second in 1000 and third in KM KM 2000. It was not just as a bonus, but there is another purpose of its own. Not necessarily new motor has no errors at all in the assembly. It is necessary to check immediately after the first 500 miles usage, to determine the possibility of error. The second, at the beginning of the use of the machine still needs adjustment friction with other components. So that the oil change earlier (500km) is important, because the oil is still faster mixed with metal flake due to friction engine components. While still not 500 KM first, try not to fit the motor load is too large. Try to run the motor at maximum speed, but dribbled slowly from low speed (do not spontaneously).
Tips: Special motors 4 stroke engine, pour a little oil into the exhaust hole. This is so the original exhaust your bike is more durable because it is not easy porous. For two step motors, it is not necessary, because the exhaust hole will automatically be exposed to oil.
2. Standard Oil Change oil viscosity used vehicle is SAE.
However, most of the oil is sold already meet the standards for the climate in Indonesia. So you have nothing to worry about getting the wrong standard oil for your bike. Noteworthy is when to change the oil right. It is usually already included information on oil packs you buy. Changing oil exceeds the limit kilometer usage can result in not good for the motor. Oil that has crossed the line will be softened and no longer suitable, the more severe conditions of oil will be reduced. Normally the oil change by the time you use a motor, usually by month. However, this method is sometimes not good too, because in certain circumstances we rarely use the motor or too often. Too fast changing oil is a waste, and too slow also not good for the engine. Discipline replace the motor oil based on the mileage limit oil consumption, will make your bike is always excellent.
3. Routine Tune-up needs to be done to determine the possibility of some faulty component.
Machine settings can be changed as a result of wear and tear that occurs in some certain engine components. For it must be reset to tune up to the garage. Dust dust and dirt can settle and affect the performance of the engine, and will simultaneously be cleaned when tuneup. On when the ideal time for a tuneup, usually on the instruction manual included. Usually according to how many kilometers the use of vehicles. But if you feel that your bike is not as comfortable as ever, then you can also do a tuneup to the garage.
4. The use of the motor.
Do not like to imitate the movie scene with gas withdrawal by spontaneous gas your bike, or doing pull spontaneous gas. This will accelerate the wear and tear on the engine chain, fuel valve, clutch, piston and piston handlebar. Especially if you use the motor 4 stroke engine technology. 4 stroke engine is more complicated in the fuel system, and this is often problematic. If you use manual gear motors, use dental use according to the speed of the motor. If the road is uphill, the motor needs more power then reduce tooth with a more appropriate. If a new motor start running do not directly use 4th gear, but the start of gear 1. This affects the handlebar piston, piston, clutch and engine chain (4 steps).
5. Travel far Want trip away or out of town (80km - more), better oil change first.
Much nonstop journey will make the oil temperature becomes warmer, the new oil will overcome this situation for the better. Special motor without using a water cooler should cool the engine, with a stop for a moment at kilometer 80.
6. Health Let the frame of the bike is more durable, diligently diligently wash your bike quickly to avoid rust and porous.
Especially if it wears out in the rain. By implementing some of the tips above, your bike can hopefully be more durable and still excellent. And most importantly, the resale price will remain high if you want to replace the new motor.
7. Before use Special Motor 4 stroke.
Apply tradition warming the engine first before use, if the motor has been idle for 8 Hours or more. Motor which has long been on leave on the oil will fall back from the narrow passages and collects in the oil sump. Heating this machine so that the oil flowing back into the parts that need to be lubricated engine parts. Especially for the type of engine 4 stroke, because these types of machines rely only engine oil. Why should it be in heat? so that the oil rises and gets uneven first cylinder / blog engine before being given a heavy load.
Note: Preheat the machine should not be too long, just 5 minutes away. It is not good for the engine has air conditioning. Because if long life engine and the motor is not running, then the engine will not get a good cooling. For type 2 stroke motors, heating as it really is not that important. Because at the beginning of the machine is turned on, the oil is directly next to lubricate the engine together with fuel cylinder.
