Motorbike Accessories

This doesn't have to do with riding a superbike alone. Regardless of what you are riding, please protect yourself with the right and sincere clothing. And in times when you drive one-off vehicles such as superbikes, the need to do this grows. Decent riding gear should be well secured by the leather and joint to protect you in the event of a failure. The helmet must be of a healthy and thorough nature. The other items such as riding hats, gloves, and boots must be real and authentic too. Know the money on stuff that could cost you life never sacrifices.

Riding Skills

This is the training before you get on a mega-sports bike. Managing such powerful and giant bikes takes tremendous attention and accuracy. Your failure, and maybe you get under a super heavy bike. Yeah! Sounds terrible. Such circumstances can only be avoided using one basic strategy, which involves developing riding skills on multiple motorcycles. The first effort should not be achieved by someone riding a commuter smoothly on a superbike. We, therefore, encourage you to use higher skills bikes and practice simple riding strategies by merely viewing videos.

Maintenance

As a responsible rider, to ensure that your favorite racing bike works normally it is your responsibility to keep it tested. Only if a bike is serviced and cared for properly it would be a beneficial move. Check routine inspections, lubrications, and adjustments in gasoline. In addition, the driving units of a car are associated with the tire pressure as tyres. Check for all wear and tear and patch or fix the pieces immediately if there are any. Mind still, even after becoming lifeless, motorcycles have the ability to breathe life into you. But to do that, you must care for your bike properly, much like a family member.

Paying Attention

Yes yes, we know you like to go off your boundaries and do tricks with your superbike, well it’s a superbike we wouldn’t expect you to just take it to your office and come back home. But a good motorcyclist would never go off-limits. It’s one thing trying to learn something but totally another to consider yourself invincible. Remember people! You are not invincible! You search your thrill alright but never try to go off-limits with your bike. Always ride in the limits you can you can stop your bike right away if needed. Don’t try silly stunts if there are no professionals around to teach you. Remember that YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE.

Take a class

Yeah, we should have started with this. This is a very crucial part of riding any motorcycle. Not just superbikes but any type of bike requires learning it. Then you're going to work with trained teachers who know the motorcycle laws in your field and can help you overcome typical riding obstacles in a safe atmosphere. In this course (usually around three days). You would then have a profound understanding of riding and how to remain healthy on the lane. And you're going to be experienced pro riding over time.

Things to consider while buying a refrigerator

20th September 2020
"Buying refrigerators isn't a piece of cake. From storage capacity to other features everything must be considered,"

Refrigerators, one of the essentials for every kitchen, be it for storing your veggies and eggs or for storing your dairy products or any leftovers. As it stores every ingredient in your dish and every food you cook, its purchase should be done considering all the factors. Besides your health, refrigerators are bought to last a longer period; so, several factors should be considered. Here we show you some of the most important things to consider while buying a refrigerator.

Energy star

Who knew you could benefit yourself and the environment at the same time? The refrigerators with ENERGY STAR mean low prices, low energy consumption, and a low hindrance to the environment without having to compromise or reducing your satisfaction. So, try considering the purchase of ENERGY-certified refrigerators.

Storage capacity

First off, know the space available for your refrigerator. Don't forget to measure the dimensions of your old unit, in case of replacement, or the dimensions of the space that you allocate for your refrigerators. Don't forget to measure the counter depth and entry points as well. Besides the space capacity, the storage capacity of the refrigerator itself is also essential. So, know the required storage capacity for your refrigerators.

Style

The refrigerator you buy today lasts for a long time; so, you might not want to get bored and frustrated with the designs and features in the near future. Some refrigerators come with top freezer, some with bottom freezer, side-by-side, and some with french door; so, make your choice considering your requirements.

Freezer

The freezer may be at the top, bottom, or at the side. Try to stick with the top-mounted freezer refrigerators as far as possible unless If you essentially need others. Refrigerators with top-mounted freezers comparatively use less energy ( less than a 60-watt light bulb). Also, the refrigerators with top-mounted freezers are cheaper than others. 

Size and Compatibility

The size of refrigerators should be considered while buying a refrigerator. The greater the size, the higher the energy consumption; but you don't want to consume high energy unnecessarily, do you? Normally, 16-20 cubic feet refrigerators are best for your kitchen, there's no need to go higher than that.

Features most essential for you

Most of us, go for the fanciest design and features if we have an abundant budget and compromise in case of a tight budget. Rather than compromising or over fancying, go for the refrigerators that actually fulfill your need and has features that are required. Even the budget refrigerators come in different variants with different specifications; so, examine and ensure the features you require thoroughly before buying.

Essential compartments

Not all refrigerators have the same features and nor do they all have the same compartments. Some refrigerators may not have dedicated compartments for meat or dairy or cheese, and some may not have autofill water pitcher and so on. If you require such dedicated compartments and features, don't forget to look out for them.

Things to know about Motorcycle Drive Chain and Its Maintenance

23rd December 2020
"Here are some ways to maintain your Drive chain of a motorcycle."

Some of the most critical elements of a motorcycle drive train are chains and sprockets, and their maintenance is a vital aspect of healthy riding. For a very important job, they are used to deliver power from the gearbox to the rear wheel. A defective chain set can cripple your motorcycle, or the condition can even get unsafe occasionally. That implies that we have to take special care of this part, and we need to know about chain maintenance for that. So, here are some ways to maintain your Drive chain of a motorcycle.

Before going for its maintenance, we first need to know about the motorcycle chainset. Most of Nepal's motorcycles have a non-sealed style chain, while some of the luxury models have an O-ring type chain. Compared to the latter, the former one requires a lot of care, and the cause is the O-ring style chain's self-lubricating and cleaning technique. If your motorcycle has a non-sealed form of a chain, for washing, lubricating and wearing, you need to keep a closer eye on it. An O-ring style chain, though, comes with a little o-ring between the chain's rollers and attachment plates, which prevents the grease from locked for a longer period and keeps dirt out.

Inspection

We should inspect and adjust the normal chainset after every run of around 700kms. Place the bike on the main stand such that the rear wheel is free and you can rotate the wheel to check the whole chain. By touching it, you can verify the dryness of the chain and visually check the dirt and dust on it. You will determine, based on the amount of wear and tear, how long the device can continue to operate, or how long it has to be modified immediately.

Cleaning

cleaning

Grease on the chain meets dirt and creates the matter of a gunk form, which appears to build up around the chain and increase its wear. So finally, We need to get this gunk regularly separated from the chain. To clean the non-sealed style chain, we should use a very hard or a wire brush with mild soap, while an o-ring type chain should be washed with a very soft brush. A Quick Solution Grunge brush is indeed a good option for the fast resolution of the target. If you're using soap water to clean the chainset, after cleaning, you need to dry the chain properly with a cloth or blower.

Lubing

lubing

We need to lubricate the chain with fresh grease after washing to making sure the lube goes well inside any pin and roller. When turning the rear wheel forward, you should apply grease on the inner side of the chain, which will ensure the proper lubing of the system. After that, using a towel, you can remove excess lube from it so it won't absorb any dust and dirt. You should also use a chain lubricating spray for the job if you want to make the operation smoother. After cleaning and lubricating your motorcycle's chainset, you can feel the smoothness of the power transmission.

Replacing

Even after cleaning and lubing. If your chain is still not functioning properly then, there is no other option than to replace the old motorcycle chain with a new one. Excessive tension or low tension may damage your new chain-set, so it should be balanced properly. After getting it replaced, take a test ride first and ensure that the tension in the chain is proper and power delivery is happening smoothly.

Things to know about engine oil drain interval

1st January 2021
"Engine Oil is one of many substances consisting of base oils improved with different additives, especially anti-wear additives, detergents, dispersants, and viscosity index improvers for multi-grade oils."

Engine Oil is one of many substances consisting of base oils improved with different additives, especially anti-wear additives, detergents, dispersants, and viscosity index improvers for multi-grade oils. For the lubrication of internal combustion engines, fuel oil is used. Engine oil is the vehicle's blood, basically. It flows through the motor to clear up the debris and other unwanted contaminants and allows the motorbike to run smoothly. There's nothing like moving the oil too much. The more you do this, the more the engine runs. But that doesn't mean you're too frequently compelled to change them. Through oil drain periods, here are five things you have to remember.

drain-oil

1. Engine type and recommendations from the manufacturer

Manufacturers sell multiple engine models and subtypes, and it can be a difficult challenge to pick the engine oil that fits your engine. What the manufacturer advises for the engine oil and oil drain periods is fair to go for. To protect the engine and its warranty, the factory set intervals are planned.

 

2. Capacities

Always follow the exact amount of oil for the engine recommended by the manufacturer. Don't ever go cheap and scarce for your oil pump. The quantity of oil in the engine influences the wear and function of the engine components. Use bigger oil filters if necessary, which will increase the filtering capability.

 

3. Type of fuel

While the type of fuel used in the engine or its efficiency can not be monitored, you can certainly be conscious of its impact on the engine. Once again, obey the advice of the producer and behave accordingly. Bear in mind that premium fuel forms do not necessarily have improved performance.

 

4. Temperatures

The temperature outside can control the capacity of the oil to do its job. Under cold climates, engine oils begin to become dense and thin under high temperatures, thus affecting their lubrication performance. As recommended, always follow the right viscosity range.

 

5. Changing Cycle

When to top up the oil and when to change it, you always do. Without proper cleaning and oil change, topping up of engine oils repeatedly can lead to severe trouble.

Regularly cleaning the bike makes it work at its best and guarantees you can enjoy healthy and trouble-free cycling. It's convenient enough to do much of the simple service work yourself.
