Delivery delivery increases by about 77% and NGK recommends attention with the maintenance of spark plugs - A study shows that orders for delivery grew significantly in the food sector, in March, with the start of quarantine in Brazil - The circulation of motorcycles has increased considerably, which requires extra care with preventive maintenance With the adoption of quarantine in Brazil, the population had the need to adapt their consumption habits, spending more time at home. Thereby, delivery by delivery has increased considerably, about 77%, only in the first weeks of March, according to Corebiz study, retail brand intelligence company. That said, and NGK, ignition system specialist, alerts to the preventive maintenance of motorcycles that, consequently, are circulating more to make daily deliveries. In this context, the preventive maintenance of motorcycles in circulation is one of the best ways to ensure the rider's safety as it avoids undesirable situations, like miscellaneous mechanical problems and crashes. To perform any type of verification or maintenance, It is important to have a qualified and trustworthy professional., which will carry out the evaluation and need for the exchange, model and correct application of the product, without damaging or compromising other motorcycle parts and components. It is important to emphasize that each manufacturer has specific guidelines in the Owner's Manual about spark plug maintenance, which may vary depending on the vehicle's mileage. NGK advises motorcyclists to request an inspection every six months or every three thousand kilometers driven, what happens first. Wearing spark plugs can lead to engine failure, difficulty in the match, increase in fuel consumption, high rate of emission of pollutants and damage to the ignition system. "Another important point is that flexfuel motorcycles, present no market, do not have a cold start system, being, thus, The correct functioning of the ignition system is essential.", afirma Hiromori Mori, NGK Technical Assistance Technical Consultant. The specialist also points out the importance of not forcing the motorcycle to start, in case it doesn't catch. This is because the motorcycle battery has a lower energy capacity than that of cars and insisting on starting can drain it, more easily. "There is yet another very common problem.. It is the drenching of the spark plug with fuel. in this condition, the spark plug short-circuits losing its insulation. In that case, you have to wait for the fuel to completely evaporate before starting again", clarifies Hiromori. Discover the main sails and types offered by NGK: Vela Iridium - Made with precious metal, is geared towards high performance engines and has great wear resistance, enabling even greater reduction in the electrode diameter. Thereby, the spark plug has more energy to burn the fuel air mixture, reflecting in more stable idling and faster accelerations. Depending on working conditions, also generates fuel savings. "For some motorcycles that use the Iridium sail, as original equipment, it is worth reinforcing that, normally, have longer useful life. The Iridium IX candle was developed exclusively for the aftermarket, aimed at motorcyclists who like to improve the performance of their motorcycles. This spark plug is available for most national motorcycles., representing a fast and cost-effective way to improve performance", avalia Mori. Conventional Candles - They are made with nickel electrodes and contain embedded copper, ensuring better thermal exchange of the spark plug, in addition to enabling a wide range of application. Resistive candles - Contains a ceramic resistor, which reduces the electromagnetic interference that can be caused by the ignition system. These spark plugs are very important for motorcycles that have more modern designs or when an accessory is installed on motorcycles, like presence alarms.
