<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The monsoons are round the corner, and if you are a bike owner, it is time to give your bike a little TLC before you start planning your road trips. Along with being careful on slippery roads, you also need to protect your motorcycle from rain damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some tips for bike maintenance that will ensure your ride is smooth and safe this rainy season: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Park in covered areas<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Rains\ncan play havoc on your bike. Try to look for a parking space that is covered,\nsuch as a shed. If that seems difficult, get a rain cover for your bike. Keep\nthe rain cover folded with you and cover up your bike whenever parked. This\nwill protect the electrical parts as well as the fiber body and minimize\nlong-term damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apply an anti-rust layer<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Rust\nis the worst enemy of a bike. This is why you need to apply an anti-rust layer\non the metal frame of your bike to protect it from the rain and moisture. You\ncan get any local garage to do this for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check\/replace your tires<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Worn-out\ntires are a major safety hazard during monsoon. Ensure that your tires have a\ndeep tread across the center and all sides. The tread should be at least 2-3 mm\ndeep; anything less than that and you may need to change the tires.\nAdditionally, check your tire pressure regularly. It is recommended to keep it\na point or two below the ideal pressure for better treading during the monsoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Put a Teflon coating<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A\nTeflon coating repels rainwater from the bike. This is a great way to ensure\nthere is no water damage to the bike. It is an inexpensive way of two wheeler\nmaintenance during the monsoon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get your brakes checked<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Just\nbefore the monsoon hits, take your bike to a trusted service center to get your\nbrakes checked. Brakes tend to become rusty and less responsive during the\nrains. Add slippery roads to the mix, and it\u2019s a recipe for disaster. Get a\nprofessional to check, clean and align the brakes, so they are in top\ncondition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ensure a full servicing<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A\nfull bike servicing is recommended for proper two wheeler maintenance. This\nincludes an engine oil and brake oil change, ensuring your headlight\/taillight\nis not broken or prone to water seepage. Get your chain washed and oiled before\nthe monsoon sets in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wear a helmet<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Along\nwith bike maintenance, the rainy season is also time to be mindful of\nself-preservation. While wearing a helmet is critical at all times, it is even\nmore important during the monsoons. Wear protective gear every time you ride\nyour bike. A helmet, knee pads and raincoat are a must when riding in the\nrains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If\nyou are looking to upgrade your two-wheeler, it would be a good idea to do so\nbefore the monsoon hits hard so you can enjoy a safe ride every time. Tata\nCapital offers up to 100% financing for a two wheeler loan, available at\nattractive interest rates and customizable loan tenures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, follow these tips for effective bike maintenance in rainy season and stay safe on the roads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
