As we have entered the chilly season, our two-wheelers need to be pampered so that they continue to offer optimum performance and stay our complaint-free companions.

Take these steps to winterize your motorcycle and keep it in excellent condition:

Use motorcycle cover

For those of you who do not have any other options than to leave your bike outside in the open, first and foremost, you can buy a cover.

However, a bike cover can protect the motorcycle to a certain extent.

Before covering up your motorcycle, make sure that your machine is dry as moisture will build up in the air surrounding the bike once the cover is on and that may be dangerous leading to damage.

Battery care

One of the most important parts of a motorcycle that may see the maximum effect of winters is the battery.

Low temperatures affect the strength of batteries and increase the viscosity of the fluid inside.

The current needs to flow properly for the starting of the bike which gets difficult due to the thickened liquid and hence, the bike takes longer than normal to start.

Chain lubrication

The chain is one of the parts of a motorcycle that continuously keeps moving while you ride and hence, it demands special care and attention.

In winter, lube your chain every week, and rather than applying the lube generously and in long intervals, it’s better to apply little and more frequently.

The best time to lube is right after you come from a ride as doing so will ensure that the substance will go into the gaps.

Anti-freeze

During the winter season, the water in the radiator chills or freezes. In this case, add an anti-freeze or proper coolant to do the trick.

In the market, you can easily find readily mixed coolants that have been already mixed with all the required additives.

If the water on the system freezes on a cold night, you will have a hard time cranking up the engine and that is when an anti-freeze helps you keep away from all that hassle.

Keeping a Bike Clean

Cleaning your bike after a chilly winter ride might seem like a lot of effort, but it’s the key to keeping your bike rust-free and at its best.

Clean the undercarriage, wheels, and any gaps or crevices where salt and moisture might have got in.

Visibility is key in winter, so make sure the lights on your bike are kept clean and free from dirt.

What should a woman wear on a motorcycle? Whether riding as a passenger or riding the motorcycle, women will need to wear the appropriate gear to ensure their safety. Male or female, injury prevention should always be considered among motorcyclists.

Helmets

First and foremost, every woman riding a motorcycle should always wear a helmet no matter how short of a ride it is.

And it should always be a full-face helmet and never a half helmet. It's important to wear a helmet when you ride.

A helmet protects you from noise, rain, snow, hail, and bugs. It could also save your life and keep your head warm during winter.

Eye protection

Most riders have visors on their helmets. Those who don’t should have some eye protection gear, like goggles or sunglasses.

Getting fragments of gravel, dust, or any other kind of debris in your eyes can cause discomfort, itchiness, or uncontrollable blinking while riding.

Eye goggles or sunglasses also protect you from flying bugs, wind, sunlight glare, or rain.

Other riders prefer to wear an open-face helmet, along with some sort of eye protection instead, which is just as fine.

Tank Bag Purse

You'll want to travel light when you head out on the road, but you'll still need a way to carry your stuff, so instead of a bulky purse, you can have a comfortable ride with the help of Tang or a side bag purse.

In the in-tank bag, you can store your keys, cell phone, garage door opener, sunscreen, and other personal items.

Hair Accessories

Nowadays, there are a whole lot of options available in the market and one of them is protective caps.

Silk caps can be used to protect your hair from further damage while wearing your helmet.

When you will protect your hair in a cap, it will no longer come in contact with the harsh surface of the helmet and it will automatically stay safe and secure within the cap’s cozy comfort.

Or else you can cover the inside lining of the helmet with a soft silky cloth which will keep you warm.

Motorcycle jacket

Jackets are one of the best riding gears for every rider. This keeps you comfortable for riding even if you want to long ride.

If you love motorcycle riding then you must use a bike riding jacket. It not only keeps you safe while being in an accident.

But it also will protect you from particles while riding. These motorcycle jackets are better for cold weather but you can use them in the summer season also.
