Here are some of the maintenance methods we've received from the "MOTO HACK Maintenance" campaign that we'd like to refer to. Maybe you have an idea that you'd like to try!
In this article, I'm going to introduce the maintenance HACK from "MJ" who rides a V-MAX 1200!
Motorcycle introduction and its maintenance
About the vehicle
[VMAX1200 (1996 Model 2LT) Canadian spec]
It is a full power version, as it is commonly called. It's getting older and I'd like to pay a lot of attention to it. A particular problem is the failure of the system over time. For example, the gasket has deteriorated and engine oil leaks. Oil seeping from the fork, fuel leaking due to hardening of seal material such as O-rings. Harnesses harden, causing wire breakage and short circuits.
Working process
Here I will be doing a "motorcycle cleaning". I'll show you how to clean your motorcycle after the touring. After all, motorcycle cleaning are a fundamental part of vehicle inspection and are a great way to find problems early. Clean your motorcycle frequently to detect problems so that you don't have to deal into unnecessary problems when you're away from home.
Items to use
VAC Various Coat
Brand: WAKO's
The reason I recommend it is because, well, it's just so easy to work with! Just spray it on and wipe it off. Again, because it's important. Just spray it on and wipe it off, and you're good to go.
Here's a quick summary of the advantages and disadvantages.
[Benefit]
- Just wipe it off.
- Can be applied with water still attached.
- Many applications (painted surfaces such as bodies, lenses and screens, metals and resins, etc.)
[Disadvantage]
- It is expensive.
Learn more about the working procedure
1. Flush the entire motorcycle with water.
Just enough to get the sand and dust off (I personally skip it for light dirt).
2. Wipe off the water moderately. It's okay if there's some moisture left in the air - this is the beauty of the VAC Various coat!
3. VAC Various Coat can be sprayed directly onto the motorycle, sprayed onto a rag, or applied and wiped down using your preferred method.
4. Finally, wipe lightly dry and you're done.
If the area is badly soiled, you can use the No.1 and then spray the VAC Various coat directly onto the stain and rub it lightly to remove it well (because it contains cleaning ingredients).
Advice
Shake the VAC Various coat well before using it.Personally, I think it works best if you wipe off the water roughly after rinsing, and then apply it!
