Things to avoid if you don't want your motorbike to deteriorate quickly
To keep your car running smoothly and prolonging its life, you should avoid things like: starting the car and driving it immediately, leaving the tires too soft...
1. Start the car and drive immediately
This is a small action but has a serious impact on the engine and the components of the transmission. Especially in the case of the car being left overnight, the lubricating oil in the engine has settled, after starting the car, operating immediately will cause the components in the engine not to be fully lubricated, seriously affecting the life of the car.

In order to protect the long-term operation of the vehicle, especially the first start of the day, it is necessary to let the vehicle run in an idle state for at least 30 seconds, which will help the engine parts to be fully lubricated. In addition, another small note on vehicles with electronic fuel injection, you should let the Fi indicator light turn off before starting the engine. Then, the fuel pump system is ready to operate, avoiding IC errors or damage to the fuel pump system.
2. Check the brakes while driving
With the feeling of fear when participating in traffic, many people have the habit of turning the throttle and squeezing the brake lightly. This puts a lot of pressure on the brake system, causing them to generate a lot of heat, causing the brakes to wear out quickly and burn the hub. The engine will also have to load heavier, causing rapid wear of the clutch, sprocket - chain - disc on manual transmission vehicles and the clutch, clutch bell, and drive belt on scooters. The brake system needs to be checked periodically every 10,000 km.
3. Ride a manual transmission vehicle like a scooter
Fearing that they cannot control the vehicle, many women often only operate the vehicle in 3rd or 4th gear, even when starting off. This action directly affects the entire engine and transmission system, they will have to work harder, quickly reducing the life of the vehicle.
4. All gasoline and oil are the same.
Most new scooters have optimally designed engines that meet high emission standards. However, in return, for this engine to operate effectively, it is also necessary to use the correct fuel standards. More specifically, the engines on scooters almost all have high compression ratios (from 10.1 to 11) to optimize engine power as well as fuel consumption.

They also require the type of gasoline used to have an Octane value (RON) of 95 or higher (A95 gasoline). Manual transmission vehicles usually have a compression ratio of 9:1 to 9.5:1, which is suitable for A92 gasoline and E5 gasoline. As for E5 biofuel, with an Octane value of around 93, 94, it is very suitable for popular manual transmission vehicles equipped with electronic fuel injection or cheap scooters such as Honda Vision, Yamaha Nozza...
The same goes for engine oil. If a vehicle uses unsuitable or cheap oil that has little protection or reduces friction for the engine, it will cause the engine to overheat, consume more fuel, and reduce its durability. Usually, oils specifically formulated for scooters will have the word “Scooter” on their label. Note that engine oil needs to be changed every 1,000 to 1,500 km.
5. Tire pressure is too low or tires are too worn
Under-inflated tires will make the car sluggish, heavy, consume more fuel, overheat the engine and this is the fastest way to "destroy" tires. More dangerously, worn tires will lose friction, become slippery, and potentially cause unnecessary accidents./.
