You will be able to ride the bike fast even in the harsh cold, just follow these tips

Winter care for bikers: Many people enjoy traveling during the cold season. This season is very difficult for bike drivers. Two-wheelers are open, so cold air directly hits many parts of the body. Due to cold, hands and legs start freezing while riding a bike, due to which not only you start shivering due to cold, but also there is a lot of difficulty in applying brakes of the vehicle. That is why we are going to tell you tips to avoid cold while riding a two wheeler, by following which you can ride the bike comfortably even in winter.

wear riding gear
Special riding jackets and winter gear prove to be very effective in protecting you from the cold. You can wear a variety of riding gear to protect yourself from the cold, including winter jackets, gloves, pants and thermal apparel. Wearing a jacket and gloves will prevent the cold wind from touching your body directly. After wearing it you can ride your bike without any problem. Riding gear of many companies is available in the market in the range of Rs 1500-6000.

keep the engine fit
Many two-wheelers take a long time to start in cold weather. This happens more with those bikes and scooters which have carburetor engines. However, two-wheelers that come with fuel injection system face less starting problems. To keep the engine running in cold weather, always keep the engine oil level correct. Apart from this, if the engine oil has become too old then add new engine oil.

check tires
If the tires of the bike are worn, do not delay in getting them replaced. Tires become hard in cold due to which the grip on the road reduces. In such a situation, old tires start losing grip on the road. Tire air pressure also reduces due to cold. Therefore, before going anywhere, definitely check the air pressure. If you live in snowy areas, you can use special tires used for winter.

repair lights and indicators
In winter, visibility on the road reduces due to fog, which makes it difficult to see on the road. In such a situation, if the light of your bike is damaged then other people will not be able to see your bike and in this situation the possibility of an accident also increases. Therefore, it is important that you keep the headlights, tail lights and indicators of your bike in good condition. Reflecting stickers can also be applied on the front and rear of the bike.

Also check battery health
Cold weather can take a toll on a motorcycle’s battery. Battery backup may end due to low temperature. In such a situation, whenever you feel that the charge in the battery is decreasing, get it charged from a mechanic. If the battery has become old and gets discharged again and again, get it replaced.

riding technique
Bike riding in cold is difficult but it can be made easy by knowing the right technique. Try to keep the speed low to avoid cold. Handle the brakes slowly and keep your eyes alert and avoid sudden turns on the road. Use indicators while turning somewhere.
