Bike Care and Detailing​

There are so many threads at PWs Bikes / 3 Wheelers which are about different kind of bikes specs and techs, but there is not single thread about detailing and caring your bike.

People are very curious about the quality and performance of the bikes but when the thing comes to detailing of bikes they are unaware of it. They don't take care of their bikes and if they know about cleaning their bikes they just don't know its exact method.

The reason for starting this thread is to inform and aware people how to take good care of their bikes so, that they would prevent their bikes from rusting and to keep it lustrous.
All expert members can post in this thread to help Members/Guest visiting PWsBikes / 3 Wheelers and want their rides neat, clean and shiny.You'll want to keep your motorcycle away from commercial washing facilities and perform the cleaning ritual yourself. Those high-pressure hoses can damage bike parts, which are more vulnerable than mechanical parts in cars. Be sure you find a shady spot to wash (and dry) your bike, since the sun can create temperature differentials that harm paint and allow water to leave spots.
NOTE: Refrain of posting off topic replies and avoid chit chat. Do not post irrelevant stuff in thread.

Raja Sahab below 60kms is an ideal speed untill you will not cross 1000kms on meter and avoid shifitng to 4th gear. Rest Racer and Amjad can guide you well about Pridor.

@r1
:o avoiding 4th gear???!!! Oui!! Nai Karo yaar!!

@ raja sb
Sir engine new hai, so drive it at 50km/hr in 4th gear max.
Yani after 10km/hr shift to next gear and drive at 40-50 speed max in the top gear.

The purpose is not to put load on engine.. avoid doubling also.

Change first oil at 300kms, then second at 1000kms and after this, keep it change at 1000km interval.

Raja bro first 1000km or running period is important time for bike
During Running Period
*Drive 40-50km/h
*Avoid fast acceleration & Double Sawaari
Bro you can read about running period in your bikes user manual
there you can find why its important for bikes engine life
I think every Owner should follow these running period prescriptions
if some one can't wait till 1000km than my advise would be atleast
take care of bike in first 500km or atleast atleast 300km
DON'T LISTEN TO stupid mechanic

Jitne ka re chrome karwao ge us mein thoday paisay aur daal lo to new carrierajana ha....

Anyways, take your bike to any Denter/Painter, they have a whitish powder that (unbelievably) removes the rust and brings the new like shine... It's currently the cheapest way
