Summer riding brings unique challenges for motorcycles due to high temperatures, increased dust, and longer rides. At Shikha Motors & Accessories, Guwahati’s trusted bike care destination, we believe summer motorcycle maintenance isn’t optional — it’s essential for safety, performance, and the longevity of your two-wheeler.
Whether you’re heading for a ride around Guwahati or planning a long-distance tour, here’s why motorcycle summer maintenance is a must:
🔧 1. Engine Protection and Cooling
High summer heat breaks down engine oil faster, reducing its ability to lubricate and cool your engine.
✅ Use high-quality engine oil with the right viscosity
✅ Change oil before and during summer riding
✅ For liquid-cooled bikes, check and maintain coolant levels
✅ Clean radiator fins and replace old coolant every 2 years
Available at Shikha Motors: Engine Oil, Coolants, Radiator Cleaners
🛞 2. Tire Safety and Performance
Heat increases tire pressure, which can lead to reduced traction or even tire blowouts on Guwahati roads.
✅ Check and adjust tire pressure regularly
✅ Inspect tread depth for wear and tear
✅ Look for cracks, punctures, or bulges

🌬️ 3. Air Filter and Dust Management
Guwahati’s roads get dustier in summer, and a clogged air filter chokes your engine.
✅ Clean or replace air filter as per your bike manual
✅ Ensure proper airflow for better fuel efficiency and engine power
Shikha Motors stocks: Air Filters for all bike models
⛓️ 4. Chain and Belt Care
Summer heat expands metal, affecting chain or belt tension.
✅ Lubricate chains frequently
✅ Check for slack, wear, or tight spots
Get your chain lubed at Shikha Motors – Lubricants & Chain Cleaners Available
⚙️ 5. Fluid Levels and Battery Health
Fluids evaporate faster in the summer, and batteries can drain quickly too.
✅ Top-up brake fluid, engine oil, and coolant
✅ Keep battery terminals clean and battery charged
✅ Check for battery overheating issues
We offer: Brake Fluids, Battery Chargers, Electrical Checkups
☀️ 6. Protecting Your Motorcycle from Sun Damage
UV rays can damage your bike’s paint, plastics, and rubber parts.
✅ Always park in shade or use a UV-protective bike cover
✅ Apply protective polish to maintain paint and shine
Shikha Motors recommends: UV Bike Covers, Body Polish, Seat Covers
