5 habits of riding large displacement motorbikes that cause the vehicle to break down quickly
(Baonghean.vn) - Driving a large-displacement motorbike is not simple, it requires systematic methods to control all bad situations that may occur... And during driving, there are many habits that seem harmless but the driver needs to avoid if he does not want the vehicle to be seriously damaged after only a short time of use.
1. Pull the throttle when starting the engine

In some modern cars, there is a function that does not allow the throttle to be released when the engine has not reached the required temperature, also to ensure that the parts can be fully lubricated. With most cars, the habit of starting the engine and revving the exhaust or running immediately is harmful in all aspects because when the engine is still cold, the oil has not circulated, the parts have not been lubricated and the engine has not reached the temperature to expand evenly, the friction between the parts is at its greatest at this time and wear and tear... Starting the engine and running immediately will cause the engine block to seriously deteriorate early. |
2. Kicking the “live” button when the engine is not running at full speed

“Live” shifting is shifting gears without using the clutch - the most effective way to preserve the clutch, especially on long journeys. However, “live” shifting when the rpm is not enough will cause the owner to have to replace the gearbox soon due to the phenomenon of stuck gears or automatic jumps due to incomplete shifting, bent gear plates, stuck gear pins making shifting difficult... Some people even perform “live” shifting without experience, which can easily damage the gearbox quickly due to broken gears or broken gear slots. |
3. Running the clutch

This is a common phenomenon when driving, especially for those who do not have much experience driving a clutch. Clutch squealing is the name given to the phenomenon of running while the clutch is not fully closed or separated, if running for a long time, it will cause wear on the clutch plate, leading to clutch slippage and loss of grip... More dangerously, continuous clutch squealing will cause the clutch bowl to be scratched, possibly causing the clutch plate to burn or break due to overheating, causing loss of traction. This not only causes the owner to have to walk the car but also has to pay a large sum of money. |
4. Brake continuously when going downhill

The habit of not using the brakes but continuously using the brakes when going downhill will cause the brake fluid in the pipes to boil quickly, the brake pads to overheat and swell, causing loss of braking ability. The above phenomena will lead to the brake system losing its effectiveness when going downhill... Even with ABS (anti-lock braking system), if the brakes are not used properly when going downhill continuously, this system will also lose its effectiveness. In some cases, the disc will burn out or break, which can cause the vehicle to roll over very dangerously. |
5. Continuously cut the exhaust

The company's experts all warn that this action is very harmful. Most users also know that frequent clutch rotation not only wastes unnecessary fuel, but also causes the engine to overheat quickly and easily wear out machine parts. However, because it is an interesting operation, many people still find it difficult to give up this habit even though they know it is harmful to the engine. |
