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.

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.

How to get Motorcycle Driving License in Nepal?

14th December 2020
"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.

 

nepali-driving-license

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. 

 

driving-license-form

The first step (Appear for eye test)

snellen-chart

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.
