Monsoon Motorcycle Maintenance Tips: Keep Your Ride Safe and Smooth
(Guwahati Riders Must Read)
The monsoon season brings much-needed relief from the heat, but it also introduces slippery roads, water-logged streets, and muddy trails—especially in a city like Guwahati. For all two-wheeler riders in areas like Lokhra, Saukuchi, Jalukbari, and Beltola, this means taking extra care of your motorcycle is not just important, it’s essential.
Here are 10 must-follow monsoon motorcycle maintenance tips to ensure your ride stays smooth, safe, and rust-free throughout the rainy season.
1. Regular Scheduled Maintenance
Before the rains hit, visit a trusted service center or your local bike accessories shop in Guwahati (like Shikha Motors & Accessories) for a full check-up. This will reduce the chances of a rainy-day breakdown.
2. Protect Your Bike from Rain
Always park under a shed or use a high-quality waterproof rain cover to protect your bike. At our shop, you’ll find durable waterproof covers for bikes of all brands, including Royal Enfield, Pulsar, R15, KTM, and more.
3. Check and Maintain Tyres
Your bike’s grip on slippery roads is crucial. Check tyre tread depth regularly. If you need new tyres or grip-enhancing tyre sprays, drop by Shikha Motors in Lokhra—we’ve got the best monsoon-ready options.
4. Service the Brakes
Rain can reduce brake performance due to rust and jamming. Have your brake pads checked and replaced if needed. We provide affordable brake servicing and parts.
5. Lubricate Chains, Hinges, and Levers
Water causes rust. Regularly oil chains and moving parts. We stock chain lubricants, greasing sprays, and rust protection kits perfect for wet weather.
6. Clean and Maintain Air Filters
Dirty or clogged air filters reduce engine performance. Clean them regularly or replace them with monsoon-friendly filters available at our store.
7. Frequent Cleaning and Drying
Clean mud off your bike frequently. We provide monsoon cleaning kits and offer detailing services that include anti-rust protection.
8. Apply Anti-Rust Protection
Apply anti-rust sprays or petroleum jelly to metal parts. We recommend and stock Sheeba anti-rust sprays—perfect for Guwahati’s humidity.
9. Check Electrical Components
Keep switches, horns, and lights safe from moisture. Ask us for electrical maintenance sprays and waterproof switch covers available in-store.
10. Renew PUC & Insurance Add-ons
Make sure your PUC is valid and consider monsoon-specific insurance add-ons like roadside assistance and engine protection. We offer free insurance consultation—just call or visit us at Shikha Motors & Accessories, Saukuchi, Guwahati.
