CHEERS TO A SIMPLE & ROADSTER LIFE ON A PRE-OWNED BIKE

Image Source - https://media.zigcdn.com/

The word ‘Roadster’ rings the right bells in my head, where I imagine myself riding on a bike on a long road with scenic views of nature. After I completed my studies and decided to enter a job I knew my roadster life is about to begin. However, as I just started to work I was not having enough money to buy a new bike and as I also wanted to show my family that I have become independent I decided to go for a pre-owned bike.

The time I made my decision, I knew that I need a bike that is a looker, gives good mileage and roars fast in short, a bike that turn heads. But the main confusion was – where should I buy a used bike complete trust and transparency. Here is when one of my friend suggested Shriram Automall India Limited (SAMIL) from where he purchased a pre-owned car.

I am very glad that he suggested SAMIL to me, as I reside in Delhi; I decided to visit their Manesar Automall, which is about 40 Kms from my home. As I entered the Automall, I was thrown at a number of pre-owned vehicles & equipment lined up in an organized manner.

I did not wasted any time and headed straight to the line-up of pre-owned bikes, the inventory was vast and I could find bikes of all major brands. The bike that caught my attention was a pre-owned Royal Enfield Bullet, it was in a good condition and after a thorough inspection I decided to participate in their physical bidding event.

I paid the RSD amount of Rs. 20,000 to get the bidder book and I took a seat in the bidding hall. I was amused to see all vehicles ramped on the ramp and got sold one by one. I patiently waited for the bike and made sure to keep my bid high to win it.

After a good competition I emerged as the winner, now in another 7 days I need to pay the rest of the amount and take delivery. Employees at SAMIL also suggested that I can get the bike financed through STFC which is indeed a good option.

I must say I am really happy to be a customer of SAMIL, I bought the pre-owned bike I was looking forward to and at a price I am really happy.

6 Tips For Used Motorcycles Maintenance

Ongoing general maintenance will keep your motorcycle in great condition with little or no unpleasant surprises on the road. Modern bikes require less maintenance than they did in the 60's and 70's but they still need a lot more maintenance than a car. Being a reliable vehicle, bikes today need a lot more care while most of the owners do not have that much knowledge. Motorcyclists should be able to do at least basic maintenance on their bikes by themselves. The more care and maintenance you give to your bike the longer it will last.

Things to Check Regularly

There are dozens of parts on the bike that could be checked on a regular basis. But try to slim the list down to the most important items so you still have the time to ride.
Here is a basic list of some of the most important things to check for:

Tires

Keep a low pressure tire gauge (0psi - 80psi) in your bike tool bag at all times. Try to remember to check your tire pressure every time you go for filling up petrol.
Keep your tires correctly inflated. A tire that is very under-inflated generates a lot of heat which can lead to a blow out. Tires that run too hot also wear out more quickly. The most common motorcycle breakdown is for tire damage. Replace your tires sooner rather than later. If tread depth is 1-2mm it is time to replace your tires.

Brakes

Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time and becomes less effective. Replace brake fluid every one to two years and your brakes will perform the best they can.
Motorcycles have up to two brake fluid reservoirs, one for the front, usually found on the handlebars and one for the back. Both should be checked regularly. Check, if your brake pads are thin and due for replacement. Beware - brake fluid, if spilt on paintwork eats right through to the bare metal.

Chain and sprockets, Shaft Drives, Belts

Lube your chain after each ride when the chain is warm so the oil can easily soak in and get into all the tight spots of the chain. These items are essential to the well being of your bike. If not well maintained you will end up spending a lot of money all too often to have them replaced.

Fuel

Check your fuel filter on a regular basis and replace every 2 years. Fuel is quite an often overlooked as a form of preventative maintenance on a motorcycle. Check the fuel filter make sure it is not clogged and looks clean and clear. Replace fuel filters every 2 years.

Oil

Check your oil level when it is cold before you go on a ride. If it is not at its high or max level top it up before going out. Make sure you regularly check and keep your oil level at its HIGH or MAX level. It is best to check your oil level on the bikes centre stand or when it is in a level position.

Battery

Check the fluid levels on each chamber. If any chamber is low, carefully top it up. Use only distilled water, NOT tap water. Tap water has minerals in it that will not do the battery any good. A battery only requires a little monthly maintenance to perform perfectly. Keep the battery charged to 100%, recharging when the lights dim, the starter sounds weak, or the battery hasn't been used in more than two weeks.
