Hello,
Now I'd like to mention ways in which u can maintain your motorbike.(Cars suck).hehehe.
If u ride your bike only as a commuter .this review is probably not for u.
If u r lazy this is not for u.
Others.
What is it that makes the best of the best motorbikes look good.its' it rich colour pattern.& its sound ofcourse.
-
Maintaining the colour
-
Once u get a new bike & get WAXPOL done(to the new vehicle).U HAVE TO KEEP THE BIKE IDLE for abt 2 days.u may ride it aferwards but no cleaning it for 1 week.
After a week.u may clean it with only clean water.
DO NOT CLEAN BODY OF YOUR BIKES WITH DETERGENTS.YOU'll BE SORRY IF U DO IT FOR A WAXED BIKE.
Every month(or periodically).
use a local waxing polish.i use'SILKY WAX POLISH' for my laser.
1.clean your bike with pure water(& a simple shampoo if necessary).
2. wipe it dry using cotton cloth
3.apply a thin coat of the wax polish.leave ir for 2 minutes.& wipe it with a cotton cloth to give it a rich . effect.
If u follow the above step u may have the best maintained bike in the locality.
WANT MORE?
WAXPOL again.
It is recommended to Waxpol a vehicle once in 8 months.to keep the glossy finish.
*LACQUERING.
*Lacquering is a process which was meant for metal bodies.but it can be done on any part of the vehicle(but rubber ofcourse).
I get my vehicles lacquered 1nce every year.
The body is neatly cleaned.dried and a coat of laquer is applied.(or 2 sometimes).
soon after laquering is done get WAXOYL treatment done.u'll never regret this .:)

MAINTAINING YOUR ENGINE.
-
1.Do not put engine guards / covers for the aircooled INDIAN bikes.(yam RXZ is advisible tough as it doesnt obstruct the airflow).
THe engine is kept open by the manufactuerers for a pecific purpose.u tamper eith the heart of your bike.it'll tamper with yours.:)
2.Do change oil as specified by the manufacturer.
( use SYNTHETIC oil . instead of the normal MINERAL oil.if u'r vehicle supports it.)
KINETIC GF 125/170/laser, PULSAR 180 DTS-i, KARIZMA, COMET, AQUILA.support synthetic oil.
3.change your spayk plug with platinum twin electrodes.(why?, try urself .feel the difference)
4.do not put those cheap silencers.(iron pipes).if the sound is what u want.u can put drill some holes in the silencers.anyone interested in this process .pot a request the same by commenting.
-
Headlight.
-
if u'r headlight focusing is bad.try adjusting the adjust screws.(ask your mech to do it).if it is a problem with your focus mask.change it.
& get a halogen bulb.(12V 35W)X2 for twin headlight bikes for bikes.(this is more than enough).
-
TYRES
-
The max size of your rear tyre must be .110 for INDIAN bikes.or the performance, will come down.I recommend DUNLOP / PIRELLI.
the frnt tyre of FAZER is very good.advisible to be put on any bike.(indian ofcourse:D)
PLZ POST YOUR COMMENTS . SPECIFY IF I MISSED ANYTHING.
