Is the handling of your motorcycle odd? Tires that are unevenly worn out? A chain that makes strange sounds? Believe it or not, the cause of all these disorders might be a severe misalignment of the front and rear wheels.

We're talking to the location of the rear wheel in the swingarm when we speak about wheel orientation, and hence its alignment with the frame and the front wheel. The front wheel is not adjustable, but in the dropouts, the rear wheel can change. That's important for chain-slack alteration, but it also implies that the wheel may be out of whack.

In comparison, properly balanced wheels make the journey more comfortable because the ride would be easy to control and more stable with a properly aligned wheel. A non-aligned wheel, on the other side, will make you face tragic injuries and put your life at risk. Today, in order to have a safe and stress-free journey, we provide you with some easy steps on how to verify the wheel alignment of your two-wheeler.

Steps on how to check wheel alignment:

1. To allow each wheel to spin freely, place the motorcycle on the center stand.

2. Double the string such that half of its initial length is its length.

3. Now tie this string to the rear wheel so that the middle of the folded end of the string is placed right at the center of the tyre’s surface area.

4. In order to make it stable at a fixed location, stick this end with tape.

5. Take both ends towards the front wheel of this string. The advantage of attaching the middle of the string to the center of the rear tyre is that, with respect to the front tyre, the two free ends of the string would now stop at the same length.

6. Attach both ends of the string to the ruler after you are finished with the above move and put this ruler on the front tyre surface area in such a way that there is no bend.

7. Ensuring that the rope is parallel to the ground, connected from the rear tyre to the front.

8. In addition, it is important to tie the string to the ruler in such a way that the distance between the two open ends is equal to the width of the rear tyre. As the front tyre's width is less than that of the rear tyre, there would be a difference on both sides of the front tyre (between tyre surface and string).

9. Measure the distance on both sides by using a ruler. Notice the original readings and spin the wheel a little bit after that. Repeat the process several times each time with regard to wheel rotation.

10. If the wheel orientation is correct, so that will be equal to the readings on both sides of the wheel. If the difference between the holes stays stable after many rotations, either your bike has flawless wheel alignment, or else it needs to be better aligned.

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

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

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.
