Motorcycles are a convenient, economical, and flexible means of transportation that is loved by many people. However, the use and maintenance of motorcycles also have a certain degree of attention, especially in winter, the performance and life of motorcycles will be greatly affected. There is a saying that motorcycles are not afraid to be ridden and are afraid to be released, what does this mean?How long does it take for a motorcycle to hurt a car?The main components of the motorcycle include the engine, battery, brakes, tires, fuel tank, circuit, etc., which will be damaged or aged to varying degrees if they are not used for a long time or too little, affecting the normal operation and safety of the motorcycle. Let's take a closer look:
Engine: The engine is the heart of a motorcycle and needs to be well lubricated and cleaned frequently. If the motorcycle is not ridden for a long time, the oil in the engine will precipitate, resulting in insufficient lubrication and even emulsification, affecting the power and life of the engine. In addition, if the valve is open, air can enter the cylinder, causing rust in the cylinder block. Therefore, for motorcycles that have not been ridden for a long time, it is best to remove the spark plug, add a few drops of engine oil, and then step on the engine a few times to evenly spread the oil on the surface of the cylinder block to achieve the effect of rust prevention. In addition, every once in a while, it is best to start the motorcycle and let the engine warm up for a while to maintain the fluidity and lubrication of the oil, but not too long or too high rev to avoid increasing fuel consumption and carbon deposits.
Battery: The battery is the power supply of the motorcycle, providing the power to start and ignite. The battery is a lead-acid chemical power supply, which needs to be charged and discharged frequently, otherwise there will be power loss or vulcanization, which will reduce the capacity and life of the battery. When the motorcycle is not riding, the battery will still have quiescent current consumption, such as the sensor of the anti-theft system. If the battery is too low, it will not start the motorcycle and even damage the electrical system. Therefore, for motorcycles that have not been ridden for a long time, it is recommended to charge them for 2 hours every half month, or remove the negative pole of the battery after the battery is fully charged, so as to reduce the loss of power.
Brake: Brake is an important safety device for motorcycles, which makes motorcycles slow down or stop through the principle of friction braking. If the motorcycle is not ridden for a long time, the brake disc or brake hub is prone to rust, causing the brake pad to accelerate and wear, and produce abnormal noise. In addition, brake fluid can also be affected by temperature and humidity, becoming viscous or evaporating, affecting the sensitivity and effectiveness of brakes. Therefore, for motorcycles that have not been ridden for a long time, it is best to check the brake system regularly, clean the rust on the brake disc or brake hub, change the brake fluid, and keep the brakes clean and lubricated.
Tires: Tires are the only point of contact between the motorcycle and the ground, bearing the weight of the motorcycle and the pressure of driving. If the motorcycle is not ridden for a long time, the tires will be affected by pressure and moisture, and the phenomenon of deformation, blistering or aging will appear, reducing the grip and wear resistance of the tires. In addition, the air pressure of the tires also changes with the change in temperature, and too high or too low air pressure can affect the handling and stability of the motorcycle. Therefore, if you don't ride a motorcycle for a long time, it's best to put up a big brace to let the tires off the ground, or turn the tires regularly to avoid the tires being compressed in one position for too long. Also, every once in a while, it's a good idea to check the air pressure of your tires and keep it within the right range.
Fuel tank: The fuel tank is the fuel reservoir for the motorcycle, providing the power of the motorcycle**. If the motorcycle is not ridden for a long time, the gasoline in the fuel tank will be contaminated with moisture and impurities, resulting in the deterioration of the gasoline and the rust of the fuel tank. This will not only affect the power and fuel consumption of the engine, but also clog the oil circuit and fuel injector, causing the engine to shake or stall. Therefore, for motorcycles that have not been ridden for a long time, it is best to fill up the fuel tank to avoid moisture in the air from entering the fuel tank, or add some gasoline stabilizer to extend the shelf life of gasoline. In addition, every once in a while, it is best to start the motorcycle to let the gasoline flow in the oil circuit and prevent the oil circuit from becoming clogged.
Circuit: The circuit is the nervous system of the motorcycle, which is responsible for the transmission and control of various signals and functions of the motorcycle. If the motorcycle is not ridden for a long time, the contact points of the circuit system are easy to rust, resulting in poor contact and affecting the normal operation of the lights, instruments, audio and other equipment of the motorcycle. In addition, the circuit system is also susceptible to small animals such as rats, which can be bitten or gnawed, causing short circuits or open circuits and even causing fires. Therefore, for motorcycles that have not been ridden for a long time, it is best to check the circuit system regularly, clean the rust on the contact points, apply some rust inhibitor, and keep the circuit dry and unobstructed.
Through the above analysis, we can see that there is a certain truth in the fact that motorcycles are not afraid to ride and are afraid to release. All parts of the motorcycle, in the case of long-term non-use or too little use, will be damaged or aged to varying degrees, affecting the performance and life of the motorcycle. Therefore, for those motorcycles that have not been ridden for a long time, we should do the following: start the motorcycle regularly, keep the engine and oil circuit in good working condition, and prevent the precipitation of oil and the deterioration of gasoline. Charge the battery regularly, or remove the negative electrode of the battery to prevent the battery from losing power or vulcanization, affecting the starting and ignition. Regularly inspect the brake system, clean the rust on the brake disc or brake hub, change the brake fluid, and keep the brakes clean and lubricated.
Check the tires regularly, brace or turn the tires to avoid deformation or aging of the tires, and keep the air pressure of the tires within the appropriate range. Regularly inspect the circuit system, clean the rust on the circuit contact points, apply rust inhibitor, and keep the circuit dry and unobstructed. In short, a motorcycle is a means of transportation that needs to be cared for and maintained, if we can do the above points, we can extend the service life of the motorcycle, improve the safety and comfort of the motorcycle, and enjoy the fun that the motorcycle brings us.
