In particular, if the temperature drops below 0 degrees and the level of antifreeze is not sufficient, the dreaded breakdown can occur and even the possibility of grabbing the propellant.
Motorcycles suffer from the transition from heat to cold, especially those elements that are more
exposed to falling thermometer. Antifreeze is a clear example of this, by helping to prevent the cooling circuit from freezing when the motorcycle is stationary. That is why good maintenance is essential to prevent malfunctions of up to 4,000 euros, according to Euromaster.
In particular, if the temperature drops below 0 degrees and the antifreeze level is not enough, it can:
the dreaded collapse arrives and even the ability to grab the propellant. For this reason, proper maintenance of the fluid, as well as an optimal level, is essential to maintain the good health of the engine.
Another component that is affected by the outside temperature is the tires, both in terms of pressure and performance. And it is especially with the arrival of the first rains, a moment when special attention must be paid to the condition of the tires, because they are very sensitive to these changes. If the weather conditions are unfavourable, it is advisable to drive carefully when starting, as the tires are still cold and the grip decreases.
The transmission should also be checked regularly, especially after long journeys. Lubrication and checking that it is properly adjusted are the most determining factors. If it is damaged, the amount increases to 300 euros.
Finally, the battery is a component that is very sensitive to the change of seasons, as the thermometer suffers like few others, both in cold and extreme heat. A lack of assessment can leave the driver stranded at any time. Plus, it does this without warning. The same happens with the oil: if it falls below the minimum level, it can lead to engine breakage and the ‘dreaded expense’ of 4,000 euros.
