Things to do before taking your bike to service

Having your bike serviced is one such feeling that allows you to be stress-free for the duration specified in the user manual.

Because most people are regular commuters with little experience in motorcycling and related issues, these tips can help them achieve peace of mind while their bike is being serviced regularly:

Always prefer authorized service center

Getting your motorcycle serviced by an authorized service center is the best way to keep things under control at all times.

This simplifies record keeping while also preserving the warranty for a specified period.

For new bikes, authorized service centers are the most dependable options, while owners prefer local mechanics later on.

Periodic maintenance

Following the owner's manual's recommended service intervals is the best way to keep your bike in good condition during your ownership experience.

Periodic maintenance reduces the likelihood of a sudden failure because each part is thoroughly inspected and required moving parts are replaced at predetermined intervals.

Before scheduling your next service, consider the last service date as well as the kilometer reading.

Scratches & dents

Before leaving your bike for service, thoroughly inspect it for any scratches or dents.

If something significant is visible, the service center personnel will make a note of it.

You will be able to claim a dent or scratch after the service if you have already checked everyone before submission.

A written list of your problems

If you know your bike has been having problems for a few days, make a list of them before heading to the service center.

Because minor tightening and cleaning jobs are already included in the labor cost, you can request that they also fix other issues as part of your service.

For major jobs and repairs, they may charge an additional labor fee.

Remove any costly and important stuff

Before leaving your bike for service, remove any important accessories that operate on the plug-and-play principle.

This is a step that most car owners take, but adventure bikes are available with accessories that can be removed before serving.

Don't leave anything valuable in the storage area.

5 Motorbike Accessories that every biker must-have

13th September 2020
"Safety always comes first."

Riding a motorcycle is easy, affordable and it brings you this incredible sense of freedom. "Safety always comes first," is one motto that you should always follow while riding a motorcycle. Safety is indeed the topmost priority for motorcycling. Luckily enough, you have plenty of protective equipment accessible.

We have compiled a list of 5 accessories for bikers that will help you put your safety and feel all the thrill you need. 

MOTORCYCLE HELMET

Without even a doubt a helmet is by far the most crucial piece of accessory a rider can have.

Motorcyclists are often more likely to discover themselves in an accident than cars. To save yourself a chance of living after being in a crash, wear your helmet! Helmets are very crucial equipment for a rider. 

Bike helmets can be pricey but just don't try to buy the cheapest one in the market just for the traffic police, because you can't put a value on your head. When shopping for a motorcycle helmet, you need to make sure it is of top quality, supportive, and has the correct credential.

 

MOTORCYCLE JACKETS

Motorcycle jackets are mostly made of leather which is a strong fabric that gives you additional security while riding. 

Motorcyclists wear leather mainly for safety. Leather has proved to offer additional security when riding a motorbike than standard clothing. In the case of an accident or collision, leather belts, vests, and chaps help them to shield their body's vital parts. Wearing leather can make you look cool during a motorcycle ride and certainly keep you safe. Over time, motorcyclists have introduced several elements to leather riding so there are other features that wearing leather can also provide apart from protection and looking cool.

 

MOTORCYCLE GLOVES

You have more than enough choices to choose from when it falls to hand defense. When buying motorcycle gloves there seems to be a range of requirements to look for. You want to buy convenient, warm, water-resistant gloves that offer you additional safety and a complete range of motion. Seek for gloves that aren't quite as heavy, and that give knuckle security and prolonged wrist protection.

 

MOTORCYCLE EARPLUGS

Have you got this buzzing sensation in your ears after a trip? A typical cause of hearing loss is this ringing, also identified as tinnitus. The right way of stopping it? When you're on your bike wear earplugs! Engines can make a lot of noise, but it is mainly the breeze inside the helmet that really can harm your ears. If you are a keen rider who likes to go for speed then this is really necessary for you. Just one motor ride will suffice for permanent hearing impairment. Earplugs are the only way to avoid this, and more importantly, they can make riding the motorcycle better. That's because you feel sleepy when you're exposed to excessive noise. As a result, your attention sinks and you are less in a position to rely on traffic. That can be pretty dangerous.

 

CRASH PROTECTION ACCESSORIES

Will not say anything, it is important to invest in motorcycle protection parts and components. Luckily, many bike safety options are installed today, such as crash bobbins, frame sliders, hand guards, crash bars, or skid-plates. Wearables for crash safety are designed to add protection for the body and parts of the bike in case of a fall, slip, or accident.

They not only preserve your bike but can help you save a lot of money in future maintenance over the foreseeable future. And we all know adjustments will end up being very pricey, so wards off your bike!

"Getting a license can be the most rewarding thing. Before earning the license one should know the procedure."

Getting a license can be the most rewarding thing. Before earning the license one should know the procedure. What to do and where to go are important things.

First of all :

Before giving trail practice at local learning centers. Be confident in yourself.

Visit the office or fill the form online:

Applicants may file a request online and verify the date of the written review. If the application has been submitted, the method shall have a specific reference number and other necessary information, which shall be drawn upon the date specified by the Transport Management Office when sitting for the written review.

You can submit the online form from this link below: 

http://www.dotm.gov.np/

This is closed for now due to the pandemic.

OR

You can get two forms at the DoTM office, just outside the premises. One is a driving license form and the other, both available for Rs 25, is a medical examination form. All forms, with all the essential data, would have to be completed and submitted for further processing at any other time as this service has been closed for the last six month due to Covid pandemic.

The first step (Appear for eye test)

Meanwhile, we need to appear for a color blindness eye examination where 4-5 cards with dotted colored numbers will be revealed to us. The number written on the cards, we need to say.

We go to counter number 7 to pay the Rajaswa until the eye test is confirmed.

The second step (Appear for the written test)

On the day of the written test, early in the morning at 6:00 a.m reach Yatayat Karyalaya (may change due to corona). Questions like basic riding, traffic rules, things to do in an emergency may be asked. You can prepare these questions through applications found in the apple store or android store. The results will be published on the same day. If you pass the writing test, you need to arrive at your next trial that is trying the next day.

The third step (Give the trail)

giving-trial

So this is the main course of the food. The one that you practiced to earn the license. The trial involves the following :

  • An 8 path that needs to be crossed without touching the outskirts.

  • Once 8 is completed a straight lane comes and you need to climb on.

  • A small mistake can cost your license so, always look for traffic lights, when it turns green take a left turn using the left side light

  • You will reach a slope that you need to stop and control your bike with only your one leg on the ground.

  • After completing the “ukalo and oralo ” finally slowly you should pass the speed breaker in order to complete the trail.

If you pass, you will be declared right away. The policeman on duty will hand you the card signed. After 7 days, you need to visit Yatayat Karyala and go to room 2 to pay Nrs. 1500 Rajaswa. However, if you fail, you have the allowance to appear for the trial three times within 90 days if you have passed the written test.

Fourth step( Collect your driving license)

After a period of 30 days, you can re-visit the Yatayat Karyalaya to receive your Smart Driving License Card.

Make sure, you practice enough in driving training centers and do not ignore any part of the standard design. Read the driving book and get all your documents ready. 

You will be told when your license can be issued. You briefly get a slip before your smart driving license card is ready to qualify you for driving. You can drive with the slip, so when it gets loaded, you must keep the slip secure for you to retrieve yours.
