Choose your motorcycle wisely | Tips |

"How do you determine which motorcycle is ideal for you?"

How do you determine which motorcycle is ideal for you? Whether you're a first-time rider or a professional athlete returning to the riding, selecting a motorbike might be difficult.

It's pointless to learn how to ride a motorbike if you don't know how to do it properly, or, more importantly, safely.

Usability

Your first motorbike should be based on the type of riding you want to perform.

Although you may have had your eye on sport bikes for weekend mountain rides, they may not be suitable for your daily commute to and from work.

Take into account the type of riding you want to conduct.

Do you prefer cruising or cornering? Do you prefer dirt roads or paved ones? The wonderful part about motorcycles is that there is something for everyone, so take your time and discover something that works for you on a daily basis.

Ergonomics

Ergonomics

When selecting a motorbike, examine the ergonomics of the bike and how well it suits your body. Motorcycles, like human beings, come in a variety of forms and sizes.

Try it on before you purchase it – literally. Sit on the motorcycle and pay attention to your surroundings.

How does it make you feel? If you're a beginner or regular rider, it's critical that you feel at ease on the bike. Can you stand on one foot and reach the ground? Is the reach to the handlebars comfortable?

Spend a good 10 minutes sitting on the bike to check whether the seating is comfortable, and then take it for a spin to evaluate how comfortable it is.

Body type

Motorcycle type

Recognize a few of the characteristics that make a motorbike appropriate for you to ride. Motorcycles are classified into six types:

Standard/Naked: It is a combination of functionality and visual appeal. They are available in a range of engine sizes.

Sport: They are the motorbike world's fast, aggressive, race-bred performance bikes that are particularly developed for cornering (which can make them a little intimidating for newer riders).

Cruiser: The seat height of a cruiser is normally low. It's commonly claimed that you sit in a cruiser rather than on it.

As a result, they are a popular choice among beginner riders (but keep in mind they can be on the heavy side).

Touring: It is intended to ride for an extended amount of time while providing all of the amenities, they tend to be on the heavier side of the scale.

Dual-purpose: A jack of all crafts is someone who can do it all.

They can cruise across the country, on the highway, or on the dirt, so if you want a single type that you can ride year-round, a dual-purpose bike may be the correct choice for you.

Dirt bike: Typically used for off-road riding, its low-weight body is ideal for rough terrain — they are the type of bike that can take a battering and keep going.

How often should I give my motorcycle for servicing?

1st November 2020
"Keep your bike high and your head even higher."

This is a very difficult question to answer with specificity. All motorcycles aren’t the same. A sports bike, for example, is optimized for speed, while a touring bike is designed for endurance and effectiveness. As a consequence, when it comes to having a facility, they may have very different criteria.

When to give your motorcycle for servicing?

garage

Checking your individual textbook is what you ought to do. Every manual would state that, based on your bike's CC, you need to have the bike tested after a certain amount of kilometers, usually about 4000-6000KM, or at least once a year Even if you don't hit that number before then.

Furthermore, as a rider, how much you take the motor for a tune-up depends on you. On summer weekends, you could only take your bike out for a ride, or you can rely on it virtually every day to get you to and from work.

When you think of moving it to a specialized garage, how much it is used and the lengths it drives can affect it.

 

5 things to avoid severe servicing of your motorcycle.

  • Tuning the carburetor every 2 years.

  • Flushing the Cooling system every two years if you have a water-cooled engine.

  • Changing your oil every 4000-6000 Km or every month. Whichever comes first!

  • Lubing the motorcycle chain and checking the pressure on it every 6000 KM or every month. Whichever comes first!

  • Checking the tyre pressure every month.

 

Ensuring that the bike undergoes routine servicing should allow for the detection and handling of any possible issues before they become serious. In addition, it is also possible to perform simple maintenance activities including oil replacement, which will keep the wheels working smoothly.

You should look for a dealership where the mechanics are up-to-date on all the new specifications for your particular model while searching for places to take your motorcycle.

Remember to simply take it to the garage and ask if you have any questions about the way your cycle works. The technicians are likely to be able to carry out a complete fault diagnosis for you and help you locate the issue.

Things to consider while buying a motorcycle

10th December 2020
"Enjoy your big step with ease!"

Buying your first motorcycle can be a thrilling experience. Whether you are buying a new bike or a second-hand bike, we will guide you on what to consider while buying your first ride. It takes passion, some patience, and a lot of research. So read this motorcycle buying guide before buying one!

Find the bike that suits you

suits-you

Adjustable elements such as the seat, steering wheel, etc do not come with motorcycles. That is why you need to see what suits you and what looks right while buying a motorcycle. Remember, what feels right for one minute in the showroom might not feel good on a long trip around town.

Standard, or “naked motorcycles” are great beginner motorcycles because the rider is in an upright position without having to lean and reach too far forward so naked bikes are a bit better for beginners than a sports bike.

Research, Research, Research

research

Whatever bike you want to purchase, make sure you read what you can about the manufacturer, the model, and when and how you can service it and if possible, get parts in the future. Basically, after all, you are going to be the owner, and this is not a minor investment, you should make an effort to know more about your bike inside and out.

Power is not everything

Why should I buy a 250cc bike instead of 600cc?

The answer is 600cc bike has more power and you cannot control the power if you are a beginner. Start from a humble beginning, Even experienced riders have problems with 600cc bikes.

You should start from 200cc above bikes, Many manufacturers are even specifically designing bikes in this class for new riders like yourself. Our advice: start with something smaller and trade up for something bigger later on.

Bike weight

average-motorcycle-weight.

You should also worry about the weight after you settle on the kind of bike you want. Usually, the weight of the bike goes up with displacement, but that is not the case with all motorcycles, since some cruisers weigh a lot for a more moderate displacement. It is more convenient and simple to ride a lightweight motorcycle, and you can also ride it at much higher and quicker speeds which is fun. So the lighter your bike weights, the more fun you get while riding it.

Think for long term

Another tip that we can give you is to think about the long term, buy the beast you dreamed of, the kind that can go on the city and long trips with ease. Always go for what makes you happy but let your brain decide what’s best for you and if you're buying it for day-to-day functioning, go for things like high mileage, lightweight, low servicing cost, affordable, and the one best for you. Do not settle for cheaper motorcycles as you're going to need them for a long time and compromise is not a factor!
