How to make your motorcycle seat more comfortable

20th December 2021
"It doesn’t matter how good of a seat your motorcycle has, eventually there will be that one time it’s going to start to get a little bit uncomfortable or bother you."

There are many things you can do to make your motorcycle fit you better, and making your motorcycle more comfortable can improve your riding experience too. It doesn’t matter how good of a seat your motorcycle has, eventually there will be that one time it’s going to start to get a little bit uncomfortable or bother you.

Here are some effective ways to make your motorcycle seat more comfortable:

Change your seat

This is the most logical and obvious solution. But it can also be the most costly.

Changing your seat will give you a chance to make sure the seat is correct for your body type.

Take the time to research and make sure you are getting the seat that is best for you and your riding style.

Air Cell Cushion

An air cell cushion might be the most expensive one that you could buy, but they are very durable and will last you a long time.

These pads were inspired by the pads they use to make sure people don’t get bedsores in hospitals, so you can rest assured that they’ll be comfortable.

You can also customize how many air cells you want in this cushion.

There should be a small valve on the side that lets you decide how high you want to sit and how firm you want the seat.

Gel Pad

Another popular type of motorcycle pad you could get is a gel pad.

Unlike the air cell pads, these are filled with gel which will help to distribute your weight a little more evenly across the seat.

They’re normally thick, heavy, and made of fabric. However, it will offer you more comfort than the hard motorcycle seats.

Take Breaks

One easy way to ease the pain is to just take breaks now and then. Whenever you come to a stopping position, just stand up for a little bit.

If your motorcycle has back pegs, you could stand up on the back of those while you’re riding.

If you don’t feel comfortable standing up, you can try switching up your positions throughout the ride.

You can sit forward, left, right, or back to help distribute some of the pressure.

5 Bike care and maintenance tips to keep your bike forever new

5th May 2019
"Simple and easy steps to let your ride feel young forever and make your bike new forever."

Buying a bike may be a thing but taking care of it is what matters the most. Simply purchasing a hot ride means nothing at all if you have no idea how to take care of it. Taking care on a daily basis requires no hardcore physical activity but simple tips and tricks.

Here are some bike care and maintenance tips:

Regular Bike Servicing

Regular Bike servicing might be a regular thing to see as a first point in the article about taking care of your bike. But, it is one of the most important aspects to be taken care of in order to maintain the bike’s condition and keeping it smooth for a very long time. Servicing can be done on a timely basis or as per the kilometers the bike has traveled. Make sure that you either service your bike in the showroom itself or a genuine bike shop.

Do not fill the petrol tank 

Petrol tanks should not be filled to their maximum limits as it only makes your bike and wallet suffer because of the overflow. Also, the bike when kept under the sun, vaporizes all the petrol and wastes it away. Filling it the halfway or a little more than that would be the best thing to do.

Bike chain Maintenance -Lubricating the chains

The chains are the link between your acceleration and the turning of the wheels. The dust, dirt, and mud getting all over the chain as it is located at the bottom of the bike. These external agents cause the dryness in the chain sprocket which ultimately creates friction, which is basically bad for the pickup and riding in general.

Tightening nuts and bolts of Bike

Regular monitoring of the nuts and bolts is extremely necessary to maintain the bike in a sustainable manner. Imagine you take your ride for a spin and a bolt gets loosened up. The chances are, either you will hear weird creaking noises throughout your ride or you will end up with a dislocated part of your bike which may cause the dislocation of your body parts too.

Wash your bike weekly

Finally, the bike wash is necessary to keep your bike look shining and flawless. Washing the bike daily may be a difficult task considering the daily business and the shortage of water in the country. Also, everyday washing may wash out all the necessary lube from your bike. Therefore, make an appointment for cleanliness with your ride once a week.

How to clean Motorcycle Helmet?

3rd January 2021
"It rarely takes more than a few strategic tugs to remove the internal liner and cheek pads to start the cleaning process."

Motorcycle helmets are supposed to be used all the time-rain, shine, mud pits, and heatwaves. It has the most critical job (protecting the skull and its contents). Knowing how to clean and preserve your motorcycle helmet will not only protect you from having a dank inner lining around your ears, it will also help to prolong your helmet's lifespan and get rid of stinky smell. Some steps on how to clean a motorcycle helmet are as follows:

clean-helmet

Step 1: Motorcycle helmet cleaning materials

Getting things in order from the beginning, as with any production, can go a long way towards making the best use of your time when cleaning a motorcycle helmet. In order to clean the helmet, you should have a soft towel, toothbrush, shampoo, and warm water. These materials will help you to clean your helmet like a pro.

Step 2: Remove any electronics and external accessories

You should make sure to remove all internal electrical devices such as speakers, antennas, batteries, and the Bluetooth communicator units they mount before you wash a motorcycle helmet. In addition, whether you're working on a dual-sport or off-road helmet that has a peak, removing it and washing it separately is much simpler.

 

Step 3: Remove the helmet's interior

Although many companies have somewhat different styles, it rarely takes more than a few strategic tugs to remove the internal liner and cheek pads. Comfort pads and liners are attached with snaps in most situations, but others use hook-and-loop fabrics or even magnets. Be sure to check the owner's manual for details. Put these on the side until you have cut the cheek pads and mainliner.

 

Step 4: Clean the interior lining

The interior of a motorcycle helmet is always the one that needs to be cleaned the most. The padding of your motorcycle helmet soaks up lots of grime, from facial sweat to hair spray. Fill a sink, shower, or bucket with warm water and baby shampoo while washing the lining of your motorcycle helmet, and then dunk, rinse, and massage each piece of your helmet liner in the soapy water. For this job, baby shampoo works well as it is super soft, but also clearly formulated to scrub away sweat and hair oil. Let the helmet liner and cheek pads air dry when done.

Step 5: Clean the motorcycle helmet's exterior

Take the face shield off and set it aside after removing the damp rag that you put on the helmet. To gently work your way around the surface of the helmet, use a new, damp soft towel to brush away any remaining soil. Always make careful to use only warm water when washing your motorcycle helmet. The exterior of your helmet can be affected by some solvents and cleaning solutions. For hard-to-reach places, the toothbrush will come in handy.

Step 6: Clean the face shield

Most typical face shields have a protective coating of some sort. For that cause, and much like the outside of your helmet itself, when cleaning a motorcycle face shield, you can never use anything other than warm water. Ultimately, just using a damp soft towel and softly massaging away any dirt, grit, or smudges is the easiest way to wash a motorcycle face mask. As for the outside of the helmet, leaving a damp rag draped over the face shield for several minutes softens the remnants of the crusty bug and renders it soft, and makes the job easier.

Step 7: Wipe down the internal sun shield

If there is an internal sun shield on your helmet, it is actually not very dusty. Fast sprits of water and wipe down with a microfiber towel will do the trick if the drop-down visor has become a little dirty over time, though. It is better to keep it in place when washing unless you are stubborn in your determination to remove the whole sun visor since it can be a bear to bring back into place once removed.

 

Step 8: Reassemble the helmet

Reassemble your helmet starting with the dry liner and cheek pads. Reattach your face shield and any other pieces that you removed prior to cleaning.
