Take On The Wet Laps

July 2021

It’s no secret that monsoon is the most trying season for motorcyclists. It’s important to take care of your motorcycle during this period and here’s what we suggest you do

Take On The Wet Laps

Motorcycles are more exposed to the elements of nature than cars as most of the working parts like the chain, engine, exhaust and you are exposed. It can cause a variety of problems like rust and loss of traction. Here are a few tips that will keep your motorcycle in good shape.

The transparent circle on the brake fluid reservoir (above) tells you how much brake fluid is there. When the level goes below the 1/4th mark it is time for top up. Clean your exhaust regularly as mud stuck can damage the metal bend pipe

What if, during the monsoon, your only transport has two wheels and a roof in the form of a helmet—in other words, a motorcycle? Rains, more often than not, spell trouble for motorcyclists. Things also tend to get worse for those on scooters.

Along with the greenery, cool breeze and fresh water which makes riding pleasurable, they also bring along rust, mud, grime, and our personal favorite, traffic snarls. Water is the kryptonite for anything mechanical, especially engines. Here’s how to survive and enjoy the assault of monsoon on two wheels.
