MOTOS: 4 CONSEJOS PARA EL CUIDADO DE SU MOTOR

Motorcycles also require special care, especially if you want to extend their life. These are simple but effective habits, which Grupo Primax explains in this note.

1. Turn on gently

Although in summer the same outside temperature helps the engine to lubricate faster and has a quick start and does not cause any inconvenience, in autumn and winter the opposite happens. The cold causes the oil to run through the entire engine, so that, before this circumstance, you should turn it on and let it warm for a few minutes.

2. Accelerate a couple of times

It is recommended to accelerate smoothly a couple of times on the same axis, in order to accelerate the process of travel of the lubricant in the rest of the engine. With that reduces the possibility of friction that generates internal damages and that when starting the march you feel small tremors.

3. External cleaning

The function of the lubricant is to clean the debris that could be generated inside the engine, but it is important to care about the exterior coatings.

With a small toothbrush you can remove the dust and dirt that is generated. This cleaning should be done especially by those who travel long or those who usually pass through places with dust and dirt.

4. Changing lubricant

Where there is no consensus it is the time required to change the lubricant, but it is necessary to evaluate the level of the lubricant every 5000 km and, at most, to perform the replacement every 10 000 km. Using suitable lubricants results in improved performance, protection and reliability.
