Six Matic Motorcycle Parts to Check After Homecoming
Like cars, checking motorcycles' condition after homecoming is very important. In fact, motorcycle maintenance after homecoming is no less important than motorcycle maintenance before leaving for homecoming. Motorcycles driven long distances need to be checked for their condition and whether they are still in prime condition when used for daily activities. Matic motorcycles are no exception.
Matic motorcycles are one of the options for many people to go home because they are more practical and do not need to shift gears. After your motorcycle has traveled a long distance, take care of it by checking some important parts. According to reports from various sources, here are six parts of the motorcycle that need to be checked after being used for homecoming.
1. Brakes
The first part you need to check is the brakes. The part of the brake that is quite vulnerable to wear is the brake lining. The brake lining is prone to wearing out because, during the homecoming trip and returning from homecoming, your matic motorcycle has to work hard in traffic. Hard braking can be done often, especially when you want to stop suddenly. Check this important part so that the braking on your motorcycle is safe for daily activities.
2. Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT)
This second part needs to be checked because it is a vital component on your matic motorcycle. The CVT has the important task of channeling power from the engine to the rear wheels. The parts of the CVT that you must check are the rollers and the v-belt. The roller functions to create power for the pulley so that it can move. The v-belt, on the other hand, has a role like a motorcycle chain that connects the gear in the crankcase with the gear in the rear wheel. The v-belt connects the front and rear pulleys. The rollers will not work optimally without the v-belt, so you need to check these two CVT components together.
3. Injector or Carburetor
The third part to check is the fuel injection system, such as the injector or carburetor. Not all types of matic motorcycle engines are injected; some older matic motorcycles still use a carburetor engine. You need to check both types of fuel injection systems according to their type. If the condition is dirty, you must clean this part to smooth the gasoline supply to the combustion chamber.
4. Engine Oil and Transmission Oil
These two oils have the same function: lubricant and protector of metal components that rub. The difference between these two oils is their location. Engine oil lubricates engine components, while transmission oil lubricates transmission gear components. Engine oil is usually required every 3,000 km, while transmission oil can be changed every 12,000 km. If your matic motorcycle is used for long trips, there is nothing wrong with changing engine oil ahead of schedule.
5. Battery
The battery is a vital electrical component on the motorcycle. Usually, if the battery has a problem, a battery indicator lights up when the matic motorcycle key is in the on position. Another sign that your motorcycle battery has a problem is when the process of starting the motorcycle has problems and there is a stuttering sound. As an important electrical component in a matic motorcycle, the battery needs to be checked after mudik. So as to avoid any difficulties during the process of starting the engine and turning on the motorcycle lights.
6. Tires
Similar to a car, tires are vital parts that you need to check. Check your tire pressure, including the level of wear. If the tire pressure has decreased, you should increase it according to the recommendations in your matic motorcycle manual book. Meanwhile, if the tires are starting to wear out, try to replace them immediately with new tires for safety. Tire wear can be checked by determining whether or not the tread is still visible. Tires that are already smooth and thin are very dangerous to drive.
