Motorcycle Inspection Tips

Tires
Look over your tires carefully. Cracks in the rubber, flat spots or nails and screws that may have punctured holes mean it’s time to get some new ones. Also, if you see exposed wire or metal meshing coming through the tread, it’s definitely time for some new rubber. If you don’t see any of these red flags, check the tire pressure and make sure they’re properly inflated.

Belt or Chain
A broken belt or chain can strand you at the side of the road. Take a few minutes to inspect them for wear and weak spots; replace the belt or chain if you find any damage. It doesn’t hurt to check the tension, either, and make sure it’s up to the manufacturer’s specs.

Spark Plug
Depending on what type of motorcycle you have, a spark plug can be an easy roadside change. A spark plug change on my motorcycle is not a simple fix because the seat and gas tank need to be removed. A spark plug costs a few bucks, and it’s better to check and replace it now than wait for it to fail in the middle of your next trip.

Performing a thorough inspection on your bike will help keep it in optimal condition and prevent major repairs later on.

Battery
If you haven’t started your motorcycle all rainy day, pull the battery out and charge it overnight. While you have it out, check the fluid levels in each cell. Fill the cells that are below the recommended level with distilled water. Consider purchasing a new battery if it’s more than 4 years old. It’s easier to change a dying battery now than fuss with charging it and hoping it still works later.

Air Filter
Proper airflow into the engine ensures that it runs smoothly and efficiently. Filthy air filters prevent oxygen from entering the engine; thus the combustion process that runs your motorcycle can’t occur. Pull the filter out and hold it up to a light source. If you can’t see any light through it, you need to replace or clean it.

Fluid Levels
Stand up your motorcycle so it’s completely level to ensure accurate readings of the oil and brake fluid levels. Check the brake fluid first. Start by covering your gas tank with a cloth or towel because brake fluid can damage the paint. Most motorcycles have a little window on the front of the reservoir indicating the fluid level. If it’s on the low side, open the reservoir and top it off.

Maintaining the engine oil level is, in my opinion, one of the easiest and most inexpensive ways you can prevent major engine repairs down the road. Low oil levels prevent proper lubrication. Lack of oil prevents parts from moving smoothly, which causes heat friction and can ultimately destroy your engine. Your local motorcycle mechanic will be more than happy to replace the engine but it may cost a few thousand dollars.

Brakes
Aside from checking the oil, taking a second to look at your brakes can save you a lot of money down the road, too. Letting your brakes wear down to the metal part of the pad destroys the drums or the disks, which can cost an expensive money to replace. Most brake pads have a notch on the top to track its wearing. If you don’t see the notch at all, it’s time to replace the pad.

Lubricate the Cables
Over time, brake and clutch cables can wear down and fray. If either breaks, you’re in serious trouble. Look at your motorcycle maintenance book and figure out how to detach the cables from their housings on the handlebars. Once you can access the cables, apply cable lubricant and let gravity do the rest of the work.

Lights
It only takes a second to check that your signal lights, brake lights and headlights work. These lights communicate your moves on the road to other drivers and help you stay safe on the road.

Now that the hard stuff is done, you only have a few more things to do. My bike gets kind of dusty from sitting all rainy days, so I always give it a bath and a thorough wax job before hitting the road. Not only does wax bring out the pristine, just-off-the-shop-floor look back to your paint and chrome, it also protects your bike’s paint job from the elements, helping it last longer.

Lastly, make sure to check out all your riding gear to ensure it’s in tip-top shape. Worn boots, scratches on your helmet visor and holes in your gloves may not protect you as well or may even impede your riding abilities. Your gear is the only thing protecting your skin from the pavement.

The least enjoyable thing about owning a motorcycle is getting stuck on the side of the road – especially if a little maintenance work could’ve prevented it. You can more than likely avoid that from happening by taking a few hours one afternoon and performing a thorough checkup on your motorcycle.

Ride safely!

Routine Inspection at PUSPAKOM

It is a mandatory requirement for all commercial vehicles to undergo a Routine Inspection at PUSPAKOM every 6 months, in order to certify compliance to the Road Transport Act 1987. During this inspection we will check the legality and roadworthiness of the vehicle.

Benefits of Inspection

1. Safety

We want every journey that you make to be a safe one. Inspecting your vehicle at least twice a year will ensure that it's safe to drive.


2. Confidence

After your vehicle has passed an inspection, you can drive assured and confident that it's fit for the road.


3. Environment

Vehicles emit smoke and dangerous gases that pollute the envirinment. Emissions inspection ensures your vehicle does not discharge excessive amount of harmful gases.


4. Cost Saving

Inspections can save your money in the long run as small defects can be identified and rectified before they become major issues. Well maintained vehicles run more efficiently, so you get the most out of every drop of fuel.

Safety tips driving in rainy day

When driving on the freeway, drive in the center lanes as water tends to pool in the outside lanes.

Turn on your headlights! It will help you see better on foggy or rainy days and it will help other drivers see you!

Increase your following distance and watch for brake lights ahead.

Slow down – it takes longer to stop in wet weather. Plus the faster you drive, the greater the chances of hydroplaning!

Drive slowly through any puddle of uncertain depth. That way if it’s deeper than you thought, you can still back out!

Never drive through moving water if you can’t see the ground through it – you could be swept right off the road!

Watch Out For The Other Guy

Sometimes, it doesn't matter how safely you drive. You could be driving the speed limit and obeying all traffic rules and someone else can crash into you. One good rule of thumb to use is, "Assume everyone else on the road is an idiot." In other words, be prepared for unpredictable lane changes, sudden stops, unsignaled turns, swerving, tailgating and every other bad driving behavior imaginable. Chances are, you'll eventually encounter someone like this -- and it pays to be ready when you do.

It's impossible to list all the possible things another driver might do, but there are a few common examples. If you're pulling out of a driveway into traffic and an oncoming car has its turn signal on, don't assume it's actually turning. You might pull out only to find that turn signal has been blinking since 1987. If you're approaching an intersection where you have the right of way, and another approaching car has the stop sign, don't assume it will actually stop. As you approach, take your foot off the gas and be prepared to brake.

Of course, being prepared requires awareness, so make sure you check your mirrors and keep an eye on side streets so you'll know which other cars are around you and how they're driving. Don't focus only on the road in front of your car -- look ahead so you can see what's happening 50 to 100 metres up the road.

Mengantuk ?

Esok kerja? Esok ada kelas ada test ada assignment due ada itu ada ini? Kena memandu balik hari ni jugak?

Tapi...

Tadi dah makan banyak. Berganda-ganda banyak kalau dibandingkan dengan hari-hari biasa. Macam mana nak bertahan?

Di sini kami akan menyampaikan beberapa tips #fit2drive supaya anda dapat bertahan semasa memandu.

Segarkan diri dengan minuman pemberi tenaga (energy drink). Pelbagai jenis minuman pemberi tenaga boleh didapatkan di kiosk-kiosk pam minyak.

Makan apa-apa jenis makanan yang bersesuaian untuk menyegarkan anda dengan perlahan-lahan. Jangan pula makan dengan gelojoh, jika tercekik, anda pula menjadi punca kemalangan.

Minum dengan perlahan-lahan. Kebanyakan pemandu suka untuk minum kopi/nescafe yang mengandungi kafein yang berupaya menyegarkan kita.

Kurangkan makanan/minuman yang tinggi kandungan gula. Kajian mendapati gula bertindak memberi beberapa kesan, antaranya pening dan menyebabkan otak kita berada dalam keadaan separa sedar. Seperti juga jika anda makan benda yang sangat manis pada kadar yang sangat banyak, pasti kepala anda akan pening bukan?

Jika memandu di malam hari, buka lampu dalam kenderaan mengikut keselesaan anda. Kegelapan sepenuhnya menyebabkan hormon melatonin terhasil, dimana hormon tersebut menyebabkan kita mengantuk.

Tetapkan suhu kenderaan anda kurang dari yang anda selesa. Apabila berada dalam suasana yang kita tidak gemar, akan susah untuk kita mengantuk.

Kunyah gula-gula getah sepanjang perjalanan. Ianya membantu untuk mengelakkan kita mengantuk.

Lapkan muka dan leher anda menggunakan kain yang basah. Ini sangat membantu untuk menyegarkan diri!

Dengar lagu-lagu yang anda tidak gemari. Semakin anda tidak suka lagu itu, semakin bagus untuk menyegarkan diri anda.

Menyanyi bersama ketika mendengar lagu-lagu dimainkan samada dari radio, CD mahupun USB.

Berbual dengan orang lain di dalam kereta. Jangan pula berbual di telefon bimbit. Bahaya!

Buka tingkap. Angin yang kuat dan sejuk akan membantu anda untuk kekal segar.

Secara berkala, gerakkan anggota badan anda secara bersederhana. Pusing kepala ke kanan dan kiri. Tarik nafas sedalam-dalamnya. Jika diperlukan, tamparlah muka anda sendiri. Pasti segar!

Semoga tips-tips ni dapat membantu anda dalam mengekalkan kesegaran diri sewaktu memandu! Boleh share kepada rakan-rakan dan sesiapa sahaja!
