Bike News Desk,Many times, due to office tours or college holidays, the bike is left standing at home or in the hostel for weeks. When you return, the bike does not start and then you have to push it to the mechanic. If you also repeatedly park your bike like this and go to work, then understand that your bike can have many of the problems mentioned here. To avoid these problems, some special precautions should be taken.
Battery discharge
The battery of the bike may discharge if it is parked for a long time. This may cause problems in starting the bike. It is necessary to charge the battery from time to time.
Tire Pressure
Prolonged idle can cause the tyres to lose air and develop flat spots. This can reduce the life of the tyre and cause discomfort while travelling.
Fuel Deterioration
Petrol or diesel can spoil if it is kept in the tank for a long time. This can cause problems in the engine. There is an increased risk of rust on a bike parked for a long time, especially if it is kept in the open.
Brake Failure
Brake fluid can deteriorate if not used and can also jam the brake pedal. Engine oil can freeze if left idle for a long time, which can damage engine parts.
Ways to avoid these problems
Charge the battery from time to time.
Check tire pressure and fill with air as needed.
Keep the fuel tank full or use engine stabilizer.
Keep the bike covered with a cover to protect it from dust and rust.
Check the brakes, engine oil and other important parts from time to time.
By taking these precautions the life and performance of the bike can be maintained.
