How to Maintain Your Motorcycle?

A clean and squeal free motorcycle is pleasing and most importantly you know that it is safe from possible chain break! Making sure the brake does not give you trouble or squeal is utmost crucial. What’s more, a rust free pedal or parts! All to be done within minutes and with minimal dismantling of parts, and that’s the strength of utilising WD-40® Specialist™ Automotive products range!

Many also asked if chain lube is important, and we would say, YES! Reason being,

Chains are the most overlooked (maintenance-wise) and most abused part of the motorcycle. A chain will fail prematurely if you don’t lube it regularly and more expenses will be incurred.
Cleaning is crucial and utilising a suitable cleaner that doesn’t harm the rubber seals is important too.
Chain will rust if it’s not lubricated, and the seals will become dry and crack.
Lube should leave a film on the chain’s external surfaces, to eliminate moisture from the internal bushes and pins and reduce friction between the chain rollers and sprockets.
