Purchasing a bike is one thing and maintaining is an all together different task. Many individuals do not realize the need and importance of spending time and energy on routinely maintaining a bike and fail to properly maintain a bike. A perfect bike is a bike which is kept clean and in its best possible condition of the engine, tires, fluids and other sections. Bike in its best condition might be very useful in situations which are not controlled by us the best way to understand this is to understand that the brakes in working conditions applied at the right time can save a life.


Different types of Drives for bikes:

1. Vehicle Inspection Report


It is becoming more and more evident that before installing a new part or getting repairs to get an inspection report. The Inspection report present a summary or an overall idea of what are the various repairs to be done and flags any potential future threats or problems which may arise due to some failures.


2. Regularly checking tires, alloys and spokes


Tires, air pressure, spokes, rims and the threads on the layer of the tire should be checked routinely and maintained for a smooth functioning of a bike. Inappropriate air pressure either less or more can cause a bike to drift or vibrate on a smooth road. The health of the tires, rims, spokes should be checked or completely tested or replaced according to the usage.


3. Checking all fluids, oiling and greasing

Bike is no different than a machine and is a machine designed to move. Machines require oiling and greasing at certain place to avoid or cause less friction. All the fluids should be checked by a bike expert for its quality, quantity and quality. Replacing fluids, oils and grease regularly is very important for reducing the repairs cost which may arise if not done. On average Engine oils have to be replaced every 6000 km or after certain period of time based on your bike.


4. Checking all engine sections


Checking for any noise, irregularities, damage or other defects to the engine, clutch, gear or the complete engine is very important. Changing parts in the engine at appropriate time can reduce the cost or damage which would have been caused otherwise. Getting an engine inspected from an expert and changing any parts which can increase the current mileage of your bike.


5. Checking chain and sprocket section

The chain section is the main pulling mechanism of a bike. The engine only generates energy while the chain and sprockets use the energy to pick up the speed and enable movement. The sprockets and chain should be greased regularly and changed if they become old or wear out due to the friction and the fact that it stays out of the engine doing a lot of work.


6. Checking steering and cone set


Although the steering sections take ages to get damages or problem it is suggested to check and change any oils, shock absorbers or other parts depending on the choice of the rider. The cone set has to be checked or changes after some years as the friction and working damages the overall functioning of the section.


7. Checking the lights, battery and plug section

Electrical, electronic and coil sections should be checked from an bike electrical expert as various important working of the bike relies on electric energy or mechanism.


8. Checking the Brake and throttle section

The carburetor, throttle cables, brake cables and the complete working of this sections should be checked and repaired instantly. A brake is a life-saving mechanism of a bike with a lot of uncertain events occurring and the irregular roadways and surfaces it is mandatory to fix your brake sections on high priority.


9. Servicing varies from bike to bike


The manufacturer of your bike provides you the detail of the servicing, cleaning or washing in a form of a book or a guide. Servicing changes for each bike and varies drastically as per the usage, handling and a person's individual choice


10. Maintaining a steady riding speed


Always ride your bike on higher gears for less fuel consumption and maintain a steady speed in range of 50 to 60 kmph. A bike can give you its peak mileage only if you ride it at appropriate standards and guidance. A bike which is constantly switching gears will always provide less mileage comparing to a bike which maintains a healthy ride at higher gears.
