Why isn't your motorbike starting?

4th November 2020
"Still trying to identify what could be wrong with your motorcycle. Well here's a few answers."

Few things can be more infuriating than a non-starting bike. It has the power to spoil your whole day if you're all set to go for a trip only to be interrupted by a dilemma you weren't expecting. Trying to identify what could be wrong with your motorcycle, rather than dwelling on your anger, will help you find answers and eventually get you back on the road as soon as possible. Working on your bike is a perfect way to be productive rather than frustrated, because if anything, at least with a small problem that you might have done yourself, you will stop wasting money on a technician.

Fuel

fuel

It’s one of the obvious reasons why your bike might not be starting. It is very difficult to judge its availability using the scale when the fuel level goes down, and it may also be a reason why your bike does not start. You should use certain old school methods at the time to verify whether or not your bike has petrol. One of the safest approaches is to softly shake the bike on the main stand and wait to hear the usual telltale slosh of leftover petrol, if any, from the tank.

Battery 

Indeed, the battery that is secured securely on your bike is the lifeline to the whole electrical grid. The starter motor is totally reliant on the battery for two-wheelers fitted with only an electric start. It will only be able to rev up the motor that requires a very high voltage from the battery if the battery holds enough power.

One will not be likely to use the electric starter on a relatively small battery. Any signs of a dead or faulty battery are that neither really works well or reports complete loss when you press the horn button or turn on the lights.

Spark Plug Wires

spark-plugs

With a wire being defective, it may not be an issue, but it could have come loose. Metallic conductors that connect to the spark plug tips are inside the wires. It won't make a clean connection if the wire is loose, and the engine will refuse to fire properly or begin and malfunction.

Loose spark plug wire for motorcycle riders is not a new phenomenon, it can arise because of the jerks or it may be a trick. To resolve this error, you don't need a technician. Only unplug the connections and re-plug them to try once more to power the motorcycle.

Clutch Problems

clutch

The typical failure mode of a worn-out friction disk of the pressure plate that has lost its tension is a clutch that does not completely engage or slips under heavy load. The abrupt onset of a sliding clutch usually means that the friction surfaces have been polluted by an oil spill, or something else.

You need to pull the clutch lever correctly when you start your bike and the transmission is in gear. The clutch does not engage correctly often which causes a starting question. Bring the transmission to neutral in such a state and try again.

Clogged fuel tank vent

Vehicles today have a vent hose which forms part of the fuel system. Fueling consequences follow when this line is clogged or diverted.  Attempts to fuel the motor fails, since the back pressure turns off the pump continuously.

The tank blocks the flow of fuel to the lower device as this vent is clogged. In that opening, you can unclog the vent with a very thin wire or pin together with a forced blast.

Bike not Starting of cold

Way too many of us are struggling to get our bikes started early in the morning, particularly in the winter months. Many riders can fire up a freezing engine to its full max, and then there are others that want to kick-start the engine one too many times by flooding it. Your engine can be damaged by all these strategies.

Cut-off engine switch

engine-switch

Before getting irritated with the initial problem, it is one of the most popular items we fail to investigate. We use the ignition key much of the time to power off the motorcycle instead of the button to disable or shut off the engine. So when we use it, sometimes we fail to turn off the switch and keep struggling to make the motor crank.

Why is Two-wheeler sales increasing post-COVID in Nepal

1st August 2020
"History is the evidence that sales of two-wheelers have boomed after every crisis, take Nepal earthquake 2015 and India’s blockade to Nepal as an instance."

History is the evidence that sales of two-wheelers have boomed after every crisis, take Nepal earthquake 2015 and India’s blockade to Nepal as an instance. Generally, the piled-up stocks are sold because there are people who had plans to buy a two-wheeler but couldn’t due to the unforeseeable circumstances. Also, the pandemic and people being conscious of the increasing cases of COVID-19 is the most essential factor for the boom in the sales of two-wheelers.” States Santosh Nyaupane, Secretary at Nepal Automobiles Association- NASA.

Two-wheelers are selling like hot cakes post-COVID. Many distributors claim that they are experiencing the Festive season sales. Here is the Reviews’ take on why bikes and scooters are selling the way it is selling;

1) Pandemic

COVID-19 has taught us that at least a bike or scooter is a must for a family to commute in times of crisis. We have experienced times where we have had no access to public transport. Samit Singh, Head of Marketing, VG Automobiles states, “This is the time of crisis. Our health is the primary factor to take care of. A two-wheeler is an affordable option for commuting instead of using public transportation.

2) Risk of Public Transport

The lockdown has been lifted and public transportations are on service, however, COVID-19 has not yet disappeared and cases are rapidly increasing day by day. In such a case, a means of transportation is essential for daily commuting and avoiding public transport and maintaining social distance.

3) Risk of Ride-Sharing

Even though ride-sharing is less risky in comparison to public transport and easily accessible with one single touch in their app, we have no idea where the rider has been before coming in touch with us and who has s/he touched. The private vehicle has now become a necessity.

4) Even-Odd system

The even-odd system has been lifted for the time being, but we have experienced the hurdles it brings when there is only one bike or scooter at home. One of the two-wheeler owners states that he only had an odd number plate bike and he is now planning to buy a scooter with even number plate so that it is convenient for him to commute in both odd and even days whenever necessary.

5) Attractive Schemes

The bike dealers and sellers are offering attractive schemes that make the two-wheelers a very affordable option of means of transportation.

Why Does One Need Life Insurance?

17th August 2020
"Life Insurance is essential, not only for an individual, but also for a business organization."

Life Insurance, in today’s world of uncertainties, is popularizing and is gaining much importance. Simply, it is a contract between Insurance Company and the policy holder, also called Insured. Though the policies vary from company to company, the basic concept is that the beneficiaries get lump-sum amount upon the insured's death.

A lot of people throughout the world are aware of Life Insurance’s importance; but, most of them choose to ignore the consequences and difficulties that come with one’s death, and don’t buy any policy at all. However, the pandemic of 2020 has made people keen about insurance.

In context of Nepal, several insurance companies and policies are evolving day-by-day. However, the penetration rate in Nepal is very low. About 90% of the citizens are living without any insurance policy even the educated ones who are well aware about the importance of life insurance.

Here, the major reasons to buy a Life Insurance Policy are shown:

Leave something for your family

Though the sum doesn’t compensate the loss of a person, it helps the family of the insured to solve their financial problems and provides financial security. Especially, for a family with children, the sum received can help in up-bringing of the children and cover their education expenses.

Pays off debt

The death of a person should not mean debt for their loved ones. The sum received after the death of insured can help to clear all the debts and free the loved ones from the burden of the insured’s financial problems.

Supplement to retirement plan

Life Insurance can also be a supplement to retirement plan. It helps the retirement savings to last till the end. One can invest on the insurance policy throughout their working years and can enjoy the monthly income from it after retirement.

Aids in business survival

Life Insurance is essential, not only for an individual, but also for a business organization. A business may face disastrous consequences due to the loss of its key employee or one of the owners. Policies to prevent such consequences such as key-employee insurance, buy-sell agreement, etc., prevail.

The insurance of key-employee helps to cover the loss a company has to bear from the death of the most competent employee. Similarly, buy-sell agreement aids in survival of the business even after the death of one of the partners/ owners by compensating for the loss. The sum received can kept by other owners for future use or can be used to buy the company shares from the family of the insured.

Peace of mind

The insured won’t have to stress about what will happen to their family once they are gone as the financial security of their family is ensured. 

Investment tool

Life Insurance not only protect lives from death and accidents, but is also a lucrative investment tool that helps to save money for future.
