Bad habits of women that make scooters susceptible to damage

Unlike men, women do not know much about motorbikes, so it is difficult to avoid mistakes. Many people simply think that motorbikes are for driving, just running will never break down.

But the truth is, if people continue to “treat” unfairly and repeat these mistakes, the beloved scooter will quickly turn into scrap. To use the vehicle durably and safely, we women need to avoid the following bad habits:

Use only the front brake

Many people are right-handed so they are used to only squeezing one side of the brake, usually the right hand. However, for the brake to work best, we should use both sides at the same time. Using the front brake on a scooter will be potentially dangerous due to the small diameter of the rim, short shock absorber stroke leading to a fall.

Scooter users who are not used to using front disc brakes should go to a motorbike repair shop and have the brakes "grip" less, to avoid unfortunate situations.

Accelerate and brake continuously

This is most common if people live in large cities where there are many red lights forcing people to stop frequently.

People often have the habit of driving with sudden acceleration to make the car go fast and then brake suddenly, which will cause the scooter to break down quickly. In addition, when performing the "sudden acceleration" and continuous braking also means that women are throwing away every cup of gasoline they have in vain.

Any gasoline is fine.

With the mentality of “cheap oil is cheap” and “all gasoline is gasoline” of many car owners will cause the engine to have problems and reduce durability. In the market today, there are many types of gasoline sold with different uses and features.

Therefore, choosing the right type of gasoline for scooters is important. For scooters, manufacturers often recommend users to use A95 gasoline. Using the right type of gasoline will help the vehicle to break down less and operate smoothly.

Start the engine and it will run immediately.

Don’t force the engine like that, those who ride motorbikes often start the engine and then drive like this. Women who ride scooters have this habit even more. However, if you ride a scooter, this habit is more “destructive”, ladies.

Frequently “starting the engine and running” will gradually cause the scooter to make a clicking or even “rumbling” sound. The best way is for mothers to start the engine, then slowly accelerate, not too quickly, and then drive away.

Driving too slowly

This does not mean that you have to drive faster, but driving too slowly will cause the engine to wear out quickly. With scooters using radiators, this will inadvertently cause the temperature of the vehicle to increase and the vehicle to consume more fuel. Make sure the speed is around 40km/h is best.

Cover the car with a raincoat

Covering the raincoat over the head of the vehicle is not only unsafe but also easily melts the headlight due to the heat generated. Scooters often have the advantage of wide footrests and open handlebars, so many women often cover the raincoat over the head of the vehicle to avoid getting wet and to be more windproof.

However, when you put a raincoat over the front of the vehicle, you reduce the flexibility of the front of the vehicle because the wet raincoat will wrap tightly around the handlebars and at the same time increase wind resistance because the raincoat stretches when moving...more.

No maintenance

The first requirement for a scooter to operate smoothly and durably is regular and scheduled maintenance. However, many women when using scooters often forget to pay attention to the mileage on the vehicle's clock, and only change the oil and maintenance after a few hundred to a few thousand kilometers.

This will quickly cause the scooter to lose power, damaging the internal parts of the engine. Just like humans, the vehicle also needs to be "touched up" and cannot be used continuously without rest and maintenance.

Flat tire but still going

Scooters are mostly heavier than automatic transmission vehicles, which also makes women not have much feeling when leading the vehicle and when the vehicle is moving. This habit of not paying much attention to the vehicle makes you have to change tires or tubes frequently. Especially now some vehicle models have integrated tubeless tires but the replacement cost is quite high.

Reasonable tire pressure will make the car roll easily, reduce power loss, grip the road better, and importantly, when the tire is flat, it will be difficult to drive, easily causing accidents on the road.

Hopefully the above sharing will give you more knowledge and understanding about the car you are using, and how to maintain it to operate best.
