NGK do Brasil Technical Assistance Consultant, Hiromori Mori reinforces important care, such as tyre calibration and candle inspection, that ensure more safety and less costs for motorcyclists
São Paulo, October 2022 - Motorcycles are an excellent option for both individual and professional transportation in the brazilian's daily life in large urban centers. The correct maintenance of the equipment ensures savings and safety to the user, preventing the biker from leaving you in the hand when you need it most. Care ranges from a simple tyre calibration, that affects fuel consumption and safety, inspection of candles and maintenance items recommended by the manufacturer.
Hiromori Mori, NGK do Brasil Technical Assistance consultant, Japanese multinational ignition systems specialist, Highlights five review tips on the bike to help the biker identify minor malfunctions in the operation, Maintain safety and save fuel:
"Professional motorcyclists should take even more rigorous care, since they use the motorcycle in more severe conditions such as the daily use of the motorcycle and the high distances traveled in a single day", alert Mori. "In these cases, high fuel consumption, possible equipment failure and lack of constant maintenance directly impact the cost and profitability of the bike and can, inclusive, generate physical damage to the motorcyclist.
It is also important to remember, according to ngk expert, that motorcycle tyres directly interfere with fuel consumption and safety. A care worth emphasizing concerns the design of the tread - rubber part of the tire that is in direct contact with the ground. "There are specific tires for each motorcycle - in the case of sports models, for example, rubber is softer. Furthermore, some tread drawings may consume more fuel than others", there is a tendency to greater wear”.
A good option that NGK makes available on the market, are the candles of Iridium IX, the technology of iridium candles, allows the reduction of the diameter of the tip of the central electrode of the candle. This way we will have more energy to burn the fuel that enters the engine. Facilitating departure, providing better accelerations, more stable idling and improving consumption at constant speeds.
