Due to rain or loosened buttons, ignition switches get stuck several times. It is recommended to use dry lubrication instead of having it patched with wet lubricants like lubricating oil. The explanation is that at that point in time, wet lubrication will resolve the issue but provide long-term demerits. The dirt and dust that could fill up in your ignition switch are attracted by wet lubricants and you will finally be left with no choice but to repair the system.

Today, in this post, we offer you easy advice about how to recover the motion of the ignition switch on your motorcycle.

The instructions are here:

1. Take a cutter and a pencil.

2. Near the ignition switch, take the pencil in such a way that the tip is held just above the switch's opening.

3. Rub the graphite portion of the pencil gently with the aid of a cutter, so that the powdered graphite slides straight through the ignition switch.

4. For some time, repeat this until you know that a reasonable amount of material has come through the crack.

 

Alternate procedure:

1. Label any lines on your key with a pencil in case you don't want to do the above process.

2. Making these lines darker by repeated pencil activity on the key.

 

Alternate procedure:

Try spraying WD-40 into the ignition lock a little bit. A thin straw that can fit (or nearly fit) into the gap between your key and the ignition lock should come with the can. Often, by softly wiggling it, this additional lubrication would be enough to allow the key to be removed.

The choice of a bike should strongly depend on two variables-the prices of the bike and the mileage.  It is the distance that 1 liter of fuel can ride on your bike-it is typically measured as kilometers per liter (kmpl) in Nepal. To ensure the bike is price-efficient in the long run, it is very necessary to look at the mileage. Here are some of the ways you can increase your mileage.

Air Pressure

The primary link between your two-wheeler and the road is established by tyres. For that very cause, to sustain rolling resistance to a minimum, their well-being and proper inflation are critical at all times. Helping the bike to derive the most from any drop of fuel used goes a long way. Often retain the recommended tyre pressure from the manufacturer, but do not be too arrogant and overinflate the rubber, as it would have a negative effect on handling, grip levels, and safety. In addition to these basics, when it's time to change the tyres, it is vital that you keep to the stock size. The touch patch can be improved by updating, making you know the grip levels have increased.

 

Keep things clean

Smooth, restriction-free momentum is ensured by holding the bike free of grime, dust, and all other garbage. When you ride your bike in the wet, spray off some slush or mud as fast as you can. If you wait until the mud hardens, the bike will quickly attract rust, the clay will absorb all the lubrication on any parts exposed and increase the friction that will make the engine work harder than it should.

 

Aerodynamics & Weight

Any extra weight your two-wheeler could bear would just add to the engine's workload. In order to reach a speed, it would have to work faster and use more gasoline, or it would have accomplished with a lower load while using fewer drops of petrol. The fuel economy of your bike is also influenced by aftermarket electrical components that translate to an extra load on the motor. They empty the battery quicker and make it difficult to operate on the alternator, which pulls power from the generator again.

The engine has to work harder to overcome the increased resistance of air by the extra surface area, and seeing as you've guessed by now, it consumes more fuel than regular. A common practice for those who use a motorcycle to ride

 

Maintenance on schedule

Make sure that the air filter is clean at all times, especially because much of the air is particularly dirty and dusty in our part of the world. Each combustion cycle, along with oxygen, often requires a healthy spark so that all the calories burn efficiently in any drop of fuel. Make sure the spark plug is in a safe, carbon-free state and provides enough current.

Substituting the fluids at a stage earlier than suggested is a smart practice. Do not be careless and prolong the service intervals for the bike. Timely servicing means the parts last longer and that the cycle works as it should, always delivering optimum mileage estimates.

 

Willing Fingertips

With one or two of our fingertips lying on the clutch and brake buttons, a lot of us have the habit of running. Some of us still sit on the rear brake pedal with the right foot pushing down without noticing it. It's not a bad idea to rest your digits and feet like that because it decreases response time during panic scenarios. Instead of triggering them even mildly, make sure your parts of the body are only flying low above those control points. This puts a strain on the average mileage, the bike's efficiency, and the life of its pieces.

Breast cancer- the name in itself is intimidating and worries a lot of women. There is a large number of women in the world suffering from breast cancer. However, thanks to developing technology, the cure, and prevention of the previously incurable disease are being discovered. 

There are many factors that may cause breast cancer. Many are uncovered as well. The risk factors such as family history can not be controlled. However, there are other ways of preventing breast cancer. 

Check and maintain your weight

Too skinny and too chubby is never a nice thing. So, having a healthy weight must be everyone's dream. If you suddenly gain weight, the risk of being diagnosed with different cancers, including breast cancer increases. So, keep your weight in check especially after menopause. 

Be physically active

Being physically active and fit automatically strengthens your immune and makes you healthy. Researchers have found that if a woman is physically active for at least 30 minutes a day, the risk of breast cancer is minimized. 

Breastfeed your child

Breastfeeding is very essential for the health of both the child and the mother. You must breastfeed for a total of one year or more including all your children to avoid breast cancer. 

Postmenopause hormones

Post-menopause hormone therapy, if taken for a longer period of time, can result in several harmful diseases including breast cancer. Consult your doctor and try to minimize the dose and duration of hormone therapy. If possible, try to take non-hormonal therapies and medications that will outweigh the risk factors. 

Do not smoke or drink

Having a healthy and nutritious diet is essential. And so is avoiding harmful intakes and habits. Evidence and research have proven that women who smoke have a high risk of suffering from breast cancer, mostly pre-menopausal women. Not only breast cancer, but it can also cause several other harms like lung cancer, asthma, stroke, heart disease, etc. So, try to avoid smoking. 

Tamoxifen and Raloxifene for high-risk women

The FDA-approved medications- Tamoxifen and Raloxifene can help to reduce the risk of breast cancer for high-risk women. Especially the ones for whom other preventive measures might not be enough. The medications are prescribed drugs to cure breast cancer. However, as they can have side-effects and is not suitable for everyone, have it only after consulting your doctor.
