The first and foremost thing which one can think of a bike is the impressive colour and shiny lusture .shining bikes are a heart throb of every personal who has some fancy for them.
Besides looking beautiful;keeping the bikes clean helps in keeping aside a lot of troubles.While a dirty looking machine not only portrays the lazy character of the owner but infact invites problems like rust and wear out of various parts. by keeping the lens of headlight clean we can increase the efficiency of light emitted by the bulb & night vision improves drastically.
Nobody ever thinks about the dirt accumulated near the accelerator wire or for that reason near the clutch wire .we can surely increase the life of such cables if we clean the dust regularly.incase of bullet enfield motorcycles the constant problem(breaking up of front brake cable)is due to the friction of cable with the cable outer. So it's a request for bullet fans to get the front brake lubricated every now and then to ensure a long of the cable.
The life of battery terminals can be increased upto 2an' half years(3and a half in my case)by applying domestic vaseline or yellow grease at regular intervals.
Most important of all, to keep the engine healthy;rev. it properly(but not to screaming levels)for about a minute or two before going for a long drive or even going to date for that matter.This allows the engine oil to work up to its path properly before you set off.
