How to prepare a scooter for the winter?

How to prepare a scooter for the winter?

0 2

Think of the summer! How to eject a scooter out of the garage in euphoria will start and ... But maybe you will not do it? It all depends on how you prepare for their hibernation. Conserving or renting a vehicle is a service for which the motto service requires a decent amount, but there is nothing so insolently complicated that something can not be done by yourself. 

    Washing

   It is best to start the winting process with a clean scooter, hand-crafted and special chemistry It is best to remove the engine cover and clean the dirt and clutch space from dirt due to the belt, it's best to come off with gasoline.

All washing machines and electric screws should be airborne after washing. Afterwards, these movable knobs, such as the brake hinges, the gas handle, should be milled (everything that slides and moves) with special chemistry.

 

   Space

  The spring is most likely to be expected in a warm room, with an air temperature of +5 to + 20 degrees This temperature is not scanned by the scooter, but if the room is wet, it creates dew drops and condensation on the parts. If there is no room for your scooter, then you should buy a 'moto blend' so that the harsh winter conditions do not hit too much of your scooter!

 

    Battery

   It's clear that you do not start your scooter in the spring if you lose a lobe. Extend him for life and before dropping the cat in the winter, disconnect the minus terminal (just minus the terminal!). Remember that some scooters do not even notice electricity at ignition off, for example - through generator diodes (reverse current). She is weak, but the leak of this current is enough to put a battery in the four / five winter months. But the nightmare begins - after an unloading of the battery, an irreversible process begins, which is incompatible with the battery's direct functions, because the battery is permanently exposed to chemical reactions, causing self-discharging. So, you can start making money for a new hooker. But you will not have to spend time, if you will collapse him in the autumn and take him to the garage, placed in a cool but not cold place. In cool conditions, chemical processes are slower. But the best option is to recharge the sticks at least once every two months. Now there are also specially purchased handles / roller chargers that control the power supply themselves. Another option is to unload the battery and then recharge it. You can discharge by connecting any lamp. This battery can serve you for three or even four years.

   

    Petrol Lighthouse

 

Humidity in the first place will damage the gasoline lighter - condenses on the walls of the luminaire under the gasoline layer water . He can not dry out, so the rust is formed and the lighthouse just starts rusting from the inside. To prevent this from happening, the lighthouse must be filled with fuel up to the lips, so there will be no space for condensation. The condensate also builds up in reducers. The oil is never "up to the lips", but nothing can be done about it, if only to keep scooters in a warm place. If the scooter has a carburettor engine, then the two-stroke oil can be added in a full-beam manner in proportions that are foreseen for the product concerned and run on the engine for as long as it warms up to the maximum operating temperature. After this procedure, you need to pour out the fuel left over from the carburettor float to avoid a little petrol dosing without causing potassium and other fuel additives to come to a standstill. Flexible is such that from this process - oil with gasoline, leaving the thin layer of oil on the inner walls of the carburettor and fuel shakes. Another option or addition to the combination "fuel + oil" - add a fuel octane stabilizer. It will not release fuel and will help the fuel to retain its quality throughout the winter.

 

    Extractor

  If you wind the scooter on the street or in a wet room or after washing the roller it it has not dried thoroughly, condensation can enter through exhaust pipes and exhaust valves and get into the engine cylinders. Of course, this will cause details of corrosion. The result will ring the rings, but if it does not work, then in the spring you will see the porous, rusty cylinder gylles. This can be prevented by stamping or closing the tailgate as well as the opening of the inlet filter box. (4-stroke motor). 
 

    Chromed Details

 

Corrosive also does not protect the outside of the details. Chromed parts in the humid area can even blow. But the corrosion of aluminum parts is threatening with the glare disappearing and covering it with covering. This defect is difficult to repair and it will also be expensive. That is why this is another reason why a scooter should stand in a warm room. Chromed and polished parts from the outside also fit well. Also plastic parts and varnished parts are commercially available preservatives.

 

    Power System

 

All screws and switches of the electrical system must be treated with a specially designed spray that will not allow

 

    Rubber Products

  If your garage is too warm, dry and shines, then different parts can start to grind and crush, such as tires and various other rubber parts - fork seals, handles, seat, coolant hoses, and other rubber products. But this is not difficult to prevent. The rubber needs a cool and dark place. All rubber parts can be treated with silicone, which will not allow them to crack. If it is possible, the tires can be stored in the garage hole. You can also leave on a motorcycle, but then the motorcycle should be fixed to the central horn, and it is advisable to lower the tire pressure to 0.8 or 0.5 bar. It is ideal to stretch the moci so that the shock absorbers are released and the tires do not load (they do not touch the ground or touch a bit). If the tires touch the ground, then it's time for them to rotate in a different position so that in spring they do not have to consult the tire. There is also dust in the garage, so it is advisable to cover scooters.

    Engine

 The engine produces various types of burning particles in the oil, as well as products of the product - burns, micro digestion. After the winter, these small particles can accumulate in different oil channels, as well as motor and other serious mechanical units that can cause irreparable damage to the motorcycle during the springtime, which may even end up with a major overhaul of the engine. It is therefore advisable to replace the engine oil in the autumn. There are also special chemical sprays that are sprayed for 5 to 10 seconds (while the engine is running) in the carburettor. This chemistry leaves on the engine walls a 100% layer of preservative that prevents the formation of any condensate (4-stroke engine). 
 

    Other Threats

 

Now about other threats that threaten the scooters in winter ... foreign lovers. To prevent this, you can insure your motorcycle both against theft and burning in the event of a fire.

 

    Moto Workshops

 

Usually there are few jobs in the Moto gadgets in the winter and in order to keep your scooter in good condition, You can transfer it to the store of moto services that offer this service. If you return your scooter to storage, be sure to look at the room beforehand and make sure your pet is kept - whether the room is warm enough or not too narrow or does not walk all the time, because it threatens to get scratched or scratched scooters in the spring for plastics. You can also ask about the scooter.
