Caring for Motorcycles

Tips on caring for 4-stroke motors are very easy, here's how to care for 4-stroke motorcycles. Create a 4-stroke riders bikers who want to always perform excellent bike, there are several types of routine maintenance we can do yourself at home. In addition to saving, also do not have to frequently stop by the workshop.
1 Check the engine oil
4-stroke motorcycle engine oil condition requires more intense than the type of 2-stroke motors. This is because almost all the drive components in the engine block oil submerged. The lack of consistency in volume especially in the engine can cause wear and tear. Tail engine could fall out as a result of imperfect lubrication. Viscosity and volume of oil we can check by opening the engine oil cap and look at the indicator in the trunk lid. Change engine oil if the maximum mileage reaches 3000 miles.
2 Check Busi
Busi is vital for the engine. This component that triggers ignition engine. Note the color of the head of the spark plug, clean with fine sandpaper if you've browned or no rust. If still worth taking, can be used again. If there is sticky oil-rich former, immediately clean the spark plug cap hump with a dry cloth. Spark plugs should be replaced when it reaches 12 thousand miles. Note also the state of the coil wires connecting the electric current to the spark plugs, if there are already visible aging cracked and hard, should be replaced immediately. To see a variety of color spark plug head can be seen here.

3 Check Filter Carburetor
There are 2 types of filters carburetor, wet and dry models. Model wet filter cleaned using gasoline and oil lubricated thereafter. Usually the motor output of 1990 s / d 2000's, using a wet filter model. Being in 2000 to the top, usually using dry type. How to treat them fairly easily, ie living sprayed with compressor. Filter this model replaced the late 25 thousand miles and not be exposed to oil or grease. Oil filter must also be considered. Motor 90s do not use the oil filter, but for the type of motor in 2000 to the top, using oil and filter must be replaced every 10 thousand miles or less.
4 Check Settings Chain and Gears
Do not let the chain is too loose or too tight. If the chain is slack, just tuned. But if dry, simply smeared with a special oil chain (chain lube). Typically, the chain should be replaced when it reaches 25 thousand to 35 thousand miles. Do not forget to check the condition of the gear. If you've seen sharply, quickly change, because it can make even dropped suddenly dislodged chain.
But if we use such kind of motor Matic Yamaha Mio or Honda Vario which uses V / Belt, the chain can not be set and must be replaced every 25 thousand miles. When the chain and gears are wrong, gentlemen check front and rear brake linings, replace if already visible thinning.
5. Cleaning Carburetor
Clean the pilot and main jet motors. To set the type manually wind the motor (made ​​in 90 years until the 2000s), closed bolt suit and open pol wind up slowly anticlockwise, a maximum of 1/2 rounds. For the Vacuum type, the motor output in 2000 to the top as well as that by cleaning the pilot and main jet. A maximum of 2 ½ spins counter-clockwise. For adjusting the valve motor can be done every 12 thousand to 18 thousand miles.
6 Check the condition of Aki
Batteries or accumulators also there are 2 types, dry and wet. Motors made in 2000 to the above, generally have used dry battery type that does not require special care. But every three years, maximum, must be replaced. While motor that uses a wet battery, do check battery water every 10 thousand miles. When a dry battery, water, immediately filled. The characteristics of the wet condition of the battery is already weak starter motor is not strong. No need to force the motor lights up in a way encouraged because it can damage the transmission gear.
7 Heat Machine Motor
Always preheat the engine before it is executed. It is highly recommended that the entire circulation of the oil can lubricate moving parts in the engine. No need for long, just 1-2 minutes. If it might eventually turn yellow exhaust pipes.
8 Use Spare Parts (Parts) Original
Indeed, the original parts a little more expensive. However, more durable and quality is assured in a false appeal.
In addition to some of the above, it is also important to always check the tire pressure. Tires that are too hard or the wind could result in less tire becomes damaged.
If a routine inspection and maintenance work earlier, secured bike Beware If we live long 4-Stroke Motor Start smoky
If we RX King motorcycle or Ninja 150-based 2-stroke engines, certainly unusual with smoke billowing out of the exhaust. But if we use the Honda Supra or Tiger, Shogun 125 and so the use of 4-stroke engine?
Do not rush to get confused if our 4-stroke motorcycle smoky. Although it is still no irregularities occur in the engine. Preview color of the smoke. If smoke colored black or dark gray, this can be made possible because of the mixture of gasoline in the carburetor most. This does not mean there is damage, simply adjust the carburetor settings. But do not be ignored, might be spread. Most fast we feel the result is a fast gas-guzzling or weak spark.
But what if the rich white exhaust smoke 2-stroke motors ?? In the 2-stroke motors, oil also functions as a lubricant side piston. So the weaker gasoline burned in the combustion chamber. So the white smoke to come earlier next to burning oil. For 4-stroke motorcycle engines, kalu new happened this way we should panic ... This means there is an engine oil dripping entrance ignition / combustion chamber. As a result, the oil burned.
How can oil go over there? There are several possibilities, could be due to the valve seal is damaged due to lack of oil supply to the cylinder head. This causes component wear due to rubbing against the valve continuously without sufficient lubrication coupled. Replacement seals are sufficient to address the problem.
The second possibility, ask piston ring replaced because it was unable to withstand the oil from the crankshaft from entering the combustion chamber. Immediately replace the piston rings to prevent damage to the more powerful. But if the damage is severe and contagious everywhere, what can make. We have to pay more for changing the piston with a larger size (oversized).
We must remember that the mechanism of 4-stroke motorcycle engine, engine oil's role is very very important .. Density / viscosity oil increasingly dilute up to its lubricating power was increasingly less. So ... do not be late engine oil change
