Motorcycle Maintenance

There are times that my new Honda XRM motorcycle is neglected. I forgot to wash it. Maybe in a week, I wash it just twice.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBH-pa9u7kkNPh7BtXO8vzGVJQyLOFmgY_FUI8Ts4PkOJXaeU-UWrqHMjeukkm3tzFq7D4qKAYaga95IWhz2APUmbQOB_MMjgY09DF3azKdtjjZ84JGbqlHiFM3YdSSQW2A96VAiSPwvk/s1600/honda-xrm-110-motorcycle-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="223" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBH-pa9u7kkNPh7BtXO8vzGVJQyLOFmgY_FUI8Ts4PkOJXaeU-UWrqHMjeukkm3tzFq7D4qKAYaga95IWhz2APUmbQOB_MMjgY09DF3azKdtjjZ84JGbqlHiFM3YdSSQW2A96VAiSPwvk/s320/honda-xrm-110-motorcycle-1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>However, it might be true its cleanliness is not maintained, but I can�t afford to neglect its maintenance. During the break-in period, I changed engine oil when it reaches the first 500 kilometers mark, next when it reached the 1,000 kilometers mark.<br />When the mileage marked 2,000 I changed again the engine oil and brought it to the motorcycle mechanic for tune-up and check-up. Then after that, the schedule of the change oil will be during the time when the mileage marks every 1,000 kilometers.<br />As of writing this post, the mileage marked already its 4,000 kilometers travel. I already changed the engine oil and will bringing it again to the motorcycle engine mechanic for another tune-up process and check-up.<br />Just take a look at the photo below.

I just don�t want to take the risk of using other engine oil although they have the same quality which are made for the 4-stroke engine motorcycle.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjACg1kY2gsiYmoPbpaXUntt8IHEqHPcgYlXi3cGips_1Eyjy3hRFW223TgKcvSpvmfkX-LiOLso3BU96MyHkpbceQXgd6jGLySzFPfoKDWQKyrev4yuvEwcluTd3f9JH0yiWCxmJ93yJ8/s1600/honda-xrm-110-motorcycle-4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="224" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjACg1kY2gsiYmoPbpaXUntt8IHEqHPcgYlXi3cGips_1Eyjy3hRFW223TgKcvSpvmfkX-LiOLso3BU96MyHkpbceQXgd6jGLySzFPfoKDWQKyrev4yuvEwcluTd3f9JH0yiWCxmJ93yJ8/s320/honda-xrm-110-motorcycle-4.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>But not only the maintenance for the engine that I never missed to do. I also frequently apply chain oil for the chain. And I am using here the Singer oil.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYj2ENSnqS8OA4Wa292yAWDS_5EV0bmy1RKVRtZb5_x1baazezI7KbnWXwqN5MeFs4kOhhP06K8AUzek5xvzXG9bgY22VuORgzOAo-wrL7Ky1vaG2m01xm8gsEkJOHvKgq3eISZMGVMm8/s1600/honda-xrm-110-motorcycle-5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="222" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYj2ENSnqS8OA4Wa292yAWDS_5EV0bmy1RKVRtZb5_x1baazezI7KbnWXwqN5MeFs4kOhhP06K8AUzek5xvzXG9bgY22VuORgzOAo-wrL7Ky1vaG2m01xm8gsEkJOHvKgq3eISZMGVMm8/s320/honda-xrm-110-motorcycle-5.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>I really want to use oil which is intended for the chain. But the mechanic said that it�s just fine to use the Singer oil.<br />So, everyday before I drive the motorcycle, I first check the chain and its looseness and then apply some oil for better lubrication and to lengthen the life of the chain and the chain�s gear.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8rtld3AUYkTtY-IoDjGfRTxniu7Ob8PmksZWZMCTtLs1sGLH9J8H11CvjLgoXgN-Ntk11KshF23BqkqUYad93KT32mbbnLn9Ir6a2V6zxckRMx8FCC6jXWK3mSPGwHadrPMWR1cXEJTo/s1600/honda-xrm-110-motorcycle-6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="224" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8rtld3AUYkTtY-IoDjGfRTxniu7Ob8PmksZWZMCTtLs1sGLH9J8H11CvjLgoXgN-Ntk11KshF23BqkqUYad93KT32mbbnLn9Ir6a2V6zxckRMx8FCC6jXWK3mSPGwHadrPMWR1cXEJTo/s320/honda-xrm-110-motorcycle-6.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>This is to make sure that the motorcycle is safe to ride on, to avoid any accident.<br />Just want to remind you�. Learn to drive defensively.
