How to Pick the Perfect Dirt Bike?

5th January 2021
"The only dirt you should like is a dirt bike!"

Because of their trendy appearance, large grasped tires, ground clearance, high seat height, and strong performance, dirt bikes have always been a piece of attraction. You want to make sure it's as cool as it sounds when you find a dirt bike for sale that does seem like a great fit. Boost your odds of becoming a happy client when you buy a dirt bike with these five things to keep in mind.

Budget

Though dirt bikes are often much less costly than vehicles, you do need to create a solid budget, it can cost lakhs even used or pre-owned dirt bikes. Look back to look at your revenue and the financial commitments you actually have. In addition to the bike itself, keep in mind there may be additional charges. For example, some small maintenance may be needed for the bike you prefer, such as a new air filter or a fluid change, or you may also have to do a few adjustments, such as repairing leaky fork seals or changing the valves. Taking into account the cost of parts and whether or not you can do the task yourself or whether you would have to hire others to do it for you.

Research Research Research

You want to study the make and model you're thinking about having, no matter whether you're purchasing your first dirt bike or your 10th. In specific, search to make sure that the bike for sale is one that fits your riding style and skills. First, do some research into the bike ratings, mentioning what owners most enjoy and what they least like. Was the bike recalled? Are there any general problems you need to be mindful of with maintenance?

Study how much the bike is sold for when you're at it and equate it to the price of the one you're contemplating.

Inspect the bike thoroughly

Make sure you know what the history looks like if you're buying a secondhand bike. This is one of the things to look out for when buying a used di Never agree to purchase something like a dirt bike sight unseen or without first taking the chance to examine the bike carefully. Begin by inspecting every part of the bike, but don't stop there. A very detailed inspection implies speaking up and even answering a lot of questions.

How extensively is the bike used, and how long has it been for the individual? Is it ever been in any incidents or had any questions you need to know upfront about? Over the years, was the bike adequately maintained, and what was the servicing schedule like?

Don’t Rush

Even if you have fallen absolutely in love with the bike you are considering and there must be a hundred other prospective buyers looking at it as well, it is crucial to take all the time you need to make a final decision. Be sure that this is certainly the bike you like and that it really is the best possible match for your needs. Know, for the years to come, you and this bike will be sharing a great deal of time together.

Size

We're not concerned about the size of the engine here, but the real size of the vehicle. "As the phrase of riding goes: "You really shouldn't be riding it if you can't flatfoot it.

Yeah, there is far more land clearance for dirt bikes than for other street bikes. It's too wide for you, though, if your feet can't hit the ground while you're straddling a saddle.

At least, if you need to "tip-toe" the bike into a muddy pit or take a rest break after going up a large slope, you want to be able to bring the heels of your feet down. Even, if you need to brake unexpectedly to escape anything dangerous and you can't hit the pavement, say hello to getting your leg pinned under your bike!

Skill Level & Experience

In comparison with street bikes, dirt bikes are distinct beasts. If you can ride a cruiser down the streets of the city, fine, but you'll be shocked by how unique a dirt bike looks and moves.

You are in for quite a shock if you look at a 250cc single engine on a dirt bike and laugh at it because the Kawasaki Z400 has about twice the displacement. Dirt motorcycles are light. Like a 650cc on a street bike, a 250cc single on a dirt bike. Treat it terribly, and let's just presume you better make sure you're up to date on your health care.

That's why we suggest that you remain in the 125cc to 200cc range for the first bike, and you're under 80kgs.

                                      Happy Riding!

Things to Consider while buying a Riding Jacket

1st January 2021
"Everyone looks good in a Riding Jacket."

A good riding jacket is among the most essential aspects of riding equipment. It not only offers protection from the weather and lets you prevent severe injury in the event of a collision, but also makes you appear stylish as you ride your favorite two-wheeler. Although selecting the right riding jacket needs little information, here are some basic tips that can be more than just a cosmetic enhancement to your riding gear with the aid of your jacket.

riding-jacket

Fit:

As critical as its safety capability, a comfortable fit for a riding jacket is, The jacket should not be too tight or too loose, both in summer and winter, so that it can be worn easily. In addition, the arm length should be perfect since longer sleeves will make riders struggle while gripping the handlebars.

 

Number of Pockets:

To carry specific items, like cell phones, wallets, etc., a riding jacket must have at least a few pockets. This can be a handy way of holding essential things during a journey, and without any hassle, you can conveniently hold any of the above-described utilities.

 

Air Vents:

A riding jacket that is made up of leather must have air vents. Make sure that the leather riding jacket that you are buying comes with air vents. Since leather has poor air passage with the absence of air vents the rider will end up sweating during summer days. So, air vents are important.

 

Reflectors:

Essentially, a riding jacket must have reflectors. The theory is that it helps to boost vision in the dark since riding at night can be risky. This is when a rider needs to get noticed by other vehicles. They can shine in the light of some other car if you have reflectors on your riding jacket to make you extremely noticeable. Hence, riders can be spotted from a distance by other vehicles.

 

Thickness:

Bear in mind that the thickness of the leather should be at least a millimeter thick or more when selecting a leather jacket. In the event of a collision, this can be very beneficial as your skin will not get affected due to this dense coating of leather on it.

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.
