Introduction:I am going to share a lot of things and a lot of tips with you in today's article because my biking journey is quite long; I have learned a lot of things with these; I have learned by spending time how you can make your bike, scooter, or car such that it lasts comfortably for 10-15 years; if any guy sees that this guy has a bike in his hands, then this bike would be in very good condition; he maintains this bike very well.

So after all, what are these tips? is always a human being learns through experience; some things are learned through experience, and some things are learned with time, so I have gained a little knowledge about some small things. I do not have a lot of knowledge, but the knowledge that I have is definitely going to be practically unique or exciting for you after reading this article about your bike or scooter.

If you implement these things, then they will last for 10 to 15 years; it will run comfortably. Now many people will also add this thing: many engines are Japanese engines; there are Japanese motorcycles; their engines are reliable; they are bulletproof; and Indian engines are generally famous for getting damaged; there is nothing like that. I have used Indian engines as well; I have used Japanese engines as well. If you are not maintaining them properly, then Japanese will also get damaged, and if you are maintaining them properly, then Indian engines will also run well. All these things mean these myths have gradually got cleared with time. The engines are more refined; they are smoother, the engineering is good, and the quality of precision parts is better, but now Indian engines are also keeping up with them, so remove that thing from your mind that if you have an Indian bike, then you should think that it will definitely get damaged. It is not like that; if you maintain it properly, then it will not get damaged at all.

Tip 1The first mistake that new buyers make is that they either blindly trust the authorized service center or they blindly trust their trusted mechanic, both these things are bad, meaning you have to proceed according to your knowledge and even if you are getting your scooter, bike or car service done outside, then there is no problem in it, there is no issue that it is not that good work is done only at authorized service centers, authorized service centers generally have more special equipment to speed up the work and to do the work in a proper workmanship manner. But in case, even if you are getting the work done outside, do not make this mistake at all, do not use local spare parts, if you are relying on the authorised service centre, then they will tell you to change this as well, change this as well, there is no point in spending money by changing it unnecessarily.

So we come to the point: if you are getting the work done at a trusted garage with a trusted mechanic, then keep in mind that you should use original parts. Parts for two-wheelers are generally available with the companies; go to the service center of the company, buy the parts yourself, and get them installed in front of you. As long as you are using original equipment in the car and using original OEM parts, then there are very few chances that any problem will arise in your bike.

so in short I will tell you that  you should use only original accessories in your bike, generally original accessories are a bit expensive, it is not like that to save money you use local accessories.for exmaple:suppose if some part is costing Rs. 60, then you first buy it for Rs. 300 locally, then it gets spoilt in 6 months, then you have to buy the part later for Rs. 600, after that you will have to use the original at the end of the day, so at the end of the day your expenses have increased, time is also wasted, mechanic's labour is also spent Interest.

Tip 2: Engine oil is the blood of the engine, which will last in your engine. This article is mostly going to be for the engine because when the engine of bikes breaks down, then there is a lot of huge expenditure, and along with that, people also get upset thinking that there is a lot of problem in the engine of this bike. The engine is open, and it is not fun to drive, so to avoid that, how should your engine run reliably in your hands? There should not be a need for opening, or the engine should not break down; just normal services should be done, and there should not be any problem.

Did you use bad engine oil, or did you use cheap engine oil to save money? If it is written in your bike's user manual that you have to use synthetic and genuine oil. genuine means reputed brands like Motul, Castrol, gulf etc, you can buy all of these, but generally, if these brands sell a lot, then their copies also come, and copies are sold more in rural areas and are sold more in small places in metro cities. In good cities, there is no issue in Tier One or Tier Two cities; you will get original engine oil. You have to use good oil; engine oil is the blood of the engine. If you are using bad oil, then create engine problem is definitely. There is a 99% chance that the engine will not last long, it will get exhausted in 10-12000 km.

Tip 3: The third number tip is again related to engine oil because engine oil is the only thing that will protect your engine until the end unless you are such a bad driver or rider who drives the bike in a very strange manner that the engine gets damaged but 99% role of the engine oil is  and 1% is your role, so the third number tip says that you should change the engine oil on time.

what can be the time, many brands also fool their customers, I will say this clearly, they want our customers to buy the bike thinking that the service centre interval of this bike is too much, this bike's service is done after 10000 km, this bike's service is done after 5000 km, so friend, I buy that bike whose service is done after 10000 km but let me tell you, the Indian riding condition, the Indian road condition atmosphere is so dusty and after that the stop end go traffic is so much that the engine oil may not last for 10000 km, in fact the engine oil may not last for 8000-7000 km and in the beginning this engine oil will also last, you will say friend The manufacturer is recommending, if the manufacturer cannot be wrong then I am saying that it cannot be wrong, the manufacturer will run for 1 lakh km, your engine will run up to 80,000 km, after that gradually it will start consuming oil, you will feel that your bike is not even giving miledge, nothing is happening but the engine is consuming oil, then these problems should not come up in future and to avoid this problem the noise in the engine should not increase, vibrations should not increase, it is better that you change the engine oil on time, if it is a scooter then it is mandatory to change the engine oil in the scooter after 3000 km, whether mineral oil is being put in or synthetic oil is being put in, because The engines of scooters generally remain closed inside, the scooter does not require much wind so it runs more in stop end go traffic.

The engine oil gets spoilt quickly, stop and go on the bike in traffic, if you are using normal mineral oil in the bike then you will have to change the oil after around 3000km, the interval will be the same for the scooter, if you are using synthetic oil then it can last up to 3-4000 and if you are using good synthetic oil then you can run it for around 4500 km.

Using synthetic oils generally does not increase the drain interval. The drain interval will remain the same. You will have to drain the oil of your bike sooner than the time taken to drain the minerals, but the ride quality becomes good, the engine runs smoothly, and the engine remains protected. If you generally ride bikes and do hard driving, then I would recommend that you use a good synthetic oil. The manufacturer also recommends it. I do not tell the brands, but I personally recommend Motul 7100. My friend has bikes: Harley, Davidson, and Benely. If I get any of these, I would say that they will go in Motul 7100; that is a better option.

This article is not sponsored by any engine oil brand, so do not buy engine oil online either. I would also like to tell you what generally happens online: people have stocked old stock engine oil, they keep it sold for cheap, do not buy it online, go offline, see, you can see the date and time of the manufacturer, when it was manufactured, and engine oils are also imported, many of the engine oils are kept in inventory for a year when they are imported, so even if you are getting one or two years old engine oil, you should not face any issue. Generally the shelf life of engine oil is up to 5 years, so if the manufacturing is for less than 5 years, you should buy it. 

Tip 4: The next tip is for people who make this mistake knowingly or unknowingly, many people do it and many people do it knowingly, suppose you start your bike, scooter, car in the morning and as soon as you start it, give full throttle to heat it up, this is absolutely a wrong habit, do not do this, suppose someone starts running after you while you are sleeping in the morning, you will not be able to run, you will get cramps in the body, the body must be given time to warm up, it is not like that you are standing for 2 minutes or 5 minutes and warming up the engine thinking that it is a very good thing No, you are wasting fuel, then 30 seconds are enough to warm up the engine.

If good engine oil is put inside the engine, it will get stimulated in that much time and anyway in India it is not so cold that the engine has to be warmed up for long but after 30 seconds when you start driving the scooter or the bike then you should not drive very hard that you are going at full throttle, you should not do those things, at least drive it at normal speed for 34 km, do not increase the rpm too much, then this thing will keep your engine very safe it could be a tip. we cannot see anything is something going wrong inside the engine or particularly at that time You will not know what is happening, but the piston walls in the engine rub against the cylinder walls, there is no thermal expansion, many parts in the engine get damaged somewhere or the other. if you use good engine oil then this damage will be minimized to a great extent, but still you should not do these things that you start driving hard from the very beginning of the morning.

Tip 5: The next and last tip is related to engine oil, that is, this may be my personal experience, some people will also comment on this, I am giving a wrong tip, in my personal experience, you should not use engine oils from authorised service centre, now many people will say that warranty will be activated due to this, it will definitely be activated, many issues can be created due to this but warranty will be activated only when something happens in your engine, if you are using good engine oil from outside, then there will be no issue. generally my personal experience has been bad with engine oils from authorised service centre. always after 1000km service of the engine It will run very well, it will seem like this, yes, there has been some difference and after 1000km or 1200 km definitely the noise in the engine will increase, vibrations will increase, performance will drop, mileage will drop, then that engine oil seems useless to me and today I am saying this openly, it is better for you to go with reputed brands, Motul Castrol liquid shell is available. I personally prefer Motul and Castrol, between Castrol I started getting a lot of copies, I was preferring Motul more in the market, so you can prefer these brands, in these brands, at the same rate, or a little similar rate The engine oil may be  expensive but that oil will run better, you should try it, I have recommended this thing to many people.

Well, our tips here are complete, but I will give you one last tip that you should not fill petrol from such petrol pumps which are infamous for adult rated fuel, they are infamous for bad fuel, it is better to use good petrol then your engine will also run well and keep doing other servicing on time like air filters, spark plugs, all these things get changed, you should do them and do preventive maintenance, it is not like that you will think friend, when the bike starts breaking down then I will do it, because at that time if the air filter gets bad and you change it then there will be no problem, but the air filter is bad If this happens and the spark plug is damaged, you are driving, carbon deposits will form in the engine, the throttle body will start getting dirty, and 10 more problems arise with it, which at the end of the day increases your expenses and also takes time, so it is better to do preventive maintenance, I hope this article has been helpful for you, if you liked the article then please like and comment.
