**Let's get to thick and thin of how to maintain your motorcycle and get the maximum out of your machine. You will definitely feel confident riding your machine.** 

![Thumbnail](https://delen.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/thumbnail_6ead63243e.jpg)

If we consider a motorcycle, just a little maintenance by your own self can do wonders for your motorbike and for you, well, it can save a lot of money- plus it empowers you. I mean think about it. How proud would you feel to tell others that you yourself are the caretaker of your machine. There will always be a sense of confidence every time you hop onto your bike for a ride and you definitely would be sure that your ride is alright.

Before we move on any further, I would recommend you to refer to the owners’ manual because in practice basically the requirements of each of these below talked about tasks can vary depending upon the motorcycle you are having. Knowledge about the location of filters and plugs, which parts you must remove to access them, proper amounts and types of various fluid, and intervals of changing them, torque, and other specifications for reinstalling nuts and bolts to proper tightness can be found in the owners’ manual and hence going through that booklet is mandatory for every proud motorcycle owner. 

### Change the Oil: 

![motorcycle oil change](https://delen.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/motorcycle_oil_change_02752fa413.jpg)


To keep your engine alive and running properly, it is important to change the engine oil after several thousand miles. To start off, you’ll have to ride your machine for 4 to 5 minutes just to warm it up. What it does is that it reduces the viscosity of the oil so it will drain easier. Now, with the engine off and bike standing upright, remove the drain plug as well as the oil fill plug, letting the oil escape into a drain pan. Remember to take out the oil filter as well. 

FYI, this process can get messy. Try to cover the engine and exhaust section with aluminum foil to protect against drippage. Once the oil is drained, install a new oil filter, put back again those parts you have removed, and using a funnel, refill the proper amount and type of motorcycle oil. Replace the oil fill cap too. And make sure you recycle the used oil at a bike shop. 

### Replace the Air Filter: 

![air filter](https://delen.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/air_filter_ef833e88be.jpg)


If the air filter is clogged and dirty, it can really hurt your bike’s performance. Air filter usually keeps out debris from the engine. Plus, it is not a really hard task to do yourself but it can be time-consuming. Sometimes the Air Filter is easily accessible but you may have to remove the gas tank to reach it. And once you reach the air box, take out and replace the air filter. Then repeat the process of reinstalling anything you removed. 

### Maintain the tire pressure and Track:

![Tire Pressure](https://delen.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/Tire_Pressure_27864fb647.jpg)


Locate the valve stem on the inside of the wheel, remove the cap and press an air pressure gauge onto the valve stem to check the tire’s pressure. Compare the pressure with what it ought to be and if it is lower than what is specified then use an air compressor to fill the tire to the correct number of pounds per square inch (PSI). Don’t overinflate and if so let some air out. To see how your tread is doing, check the tire’s wear indicator which is a little knob located in the grooves of the tire. If, by any chance, the knob is at the same level as the rubber that meets the ground, replace it without any other thoughts- which is a job for a professional mechanic.

### Change the coolant:

![Coolant.jpg](https://delen.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/Coolant_51501faf57.jpg)


Coolant prevents your engine from overheating or freezing or getting corroded. Remove any necessary bodywork to gain access to the coolant drain bolt. Then place a drain pan under the engine and remove the bolt. Remove the radiator cap to make sure everything drains. Reinstall the drain bolt once everything is done. Using a funnel, refill the system with the appropriate amount of coolant. Reinstall any bodywork you’ve removed and before that put the radiator cap back on. Start the engine and warm it up a little bit before cutting ignition. Remove the radiator cap and check the coolant level, once the engine has cooled. If you feel the need to add more coolant or to reach the amount specified in the owners’ manual, then add more coolant. 


### Keep a clean chain:

![chain](https://delen.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/chain_1c938dfb30.jpg)


Usually bikes these days come with an O-ring chain and they require less cleaning than the old-styled chains. When the chain gets dirty, you would want to clean it or even at the mileage specified in the owner’s manual. Elevate the rear wheel of your bike and put the transmission in neutral allowing for free chain movement, whenever you are cleaning. Try to use a gentle brush to get grit and grime off the chain. Also, lubricate the chain and rotate the rear wheel as you apply specially formulated lube. 

These are some basic hacks to improve your motorcycle’s life and for better performance.

**Bulleteer Customs beautifully modifies a *"Royal Enfield Interceptor 650"* into a scrambler**

Royal Enfield is one of the most popular and likeable motorcycle brands in the country. Not always do the youngsters show their affection towards Royal Enfield, but every age of Bike Lover wants to ride this retro piece. Royal Enfield popular models in the market include Classic 350 and Bullet. These motorcycles are also perfect for modifications and we have seen several examples of the same in the past.

![1.jpg](https://delen.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/1_1f10ef5aa3.jpg)

And the modifications are not limited to Classic 350 or Bullet. Royal Enfield’s flagship models Interceptor 650 and Continental GT 650 are also suitable for modifications and here we have an Interceptor 650 from Bulleteer Customs that has been modified into a scrambler.

![2.jpg](https://delen.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/2_95817ef116.jpg)

A Bulleteer Customs is a well known Royal Enfield customiser from Bangalore.  This all-new creation is known as ‘Argenti’. It is based on a Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 and has been completely transformed into a scrambler. 

![3.jpg](https://delen.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/3_068d55f886.jpg)
  
The chrome finish that is normally seen in Interceptor 650 has been completely blacked out. The spoke steel rims are retained but, they are blacked out as well. The bike now gets chunky looking dual-purpose tyres. 

![5.jpg](https://delen.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/5_7eb071248b.jpg)


These tyres alone changed the look of the bike. The stock mudguard was replaced with a smaller unit and headlamps was also replaced. It is a round unit but, it now comes with LED lights in it. Turn indicators are placed right next to the headlamp. The motorcycle also gets bigger disc brakes at the front.


Coming up, the twin-pod instrument cluster on the motorcycle has been retained but, the handlebar has been modified. A set of bar end mirrors are also installed on the motorcycle. The seats on this Interceptor 650 has been replaced with a custom made single piece flat seat which is seen in many scramblers. It is of the same shape as the stock seats in Interceptor.


At the rear, the number plate is placed on rthe ear mudguard and a custom made tail lamp is placed right behind the seat. LED turn indicators are placed on either side of the seats. The side panels on this motorcycle are custom made units. They have Argenti branding on them. Other modifications on this motorcycle are the exhausts. The stock dual exhaust setup in Interceptor 650 has been replaced with an aftermarket unit from PowerEdge performance. The main attraction of this motorcycle however is its paint job. The bike gets hyper silver shade which looks absolutely gorgeous on it. 

![6.jpg](https://delen.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/6_8bb7e6ff91.jpg)

The combination of black and silver completely changed the overall looks and character of the motorcycle. The name Argenti is actually the chemical name of silver in Latin and is named after that. It is not known whether any upgrades have been done to improve the performance of this motorcycle. Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 is one of the most affordable twin-cylinder motorcycles one can buy in India. Like many other Royal Enfield motorcycles, Interceptor 650 also has a huge fan following around the world. 

![4.jpg](https://delen.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/4_d4aa6874f5.jpg)

The Interceptor 650 is powered by a 648-cc, twin-cylinder, fuel-injected engine that generates 47 Bhp and 52 Nm of peak torque. It is mated to a 6-speed gearbox.

**Jaguar Land Rover faces £4 billion Loss, decided to shut down its production**

![2.jpg](https://delen.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/2_160c86f86d.jpg)

Over the past few months, many manufacturers have been taken down their car production due to a lack of semiconductors in the market. This time the luxurious car maker did also face a loss and decided to shut down its production. 

Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) is being forced to resort to production cuts in the current quarter as well due to the continued shortage of semiconductors across the world.

The Tata Motors-owned British carmaker has taken production shutdown at its plants in Nitra (Slovakia) and Solihull (the UK) between October 25 and 29, while the plant in Graz (Austria), which is owned by its partner Magna Steyr, will witness no-production days on October 25 and 26, and November 1 and 2.(Source)

![1.jpg](https://delen.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/1_a021540e7d.jpg)

Some engines such as AJ20-P4 and AJ20-D4 also will have no production from October 25 to November 12, they said. Together, all this may result in a volume loss of between 5,000-7,000 units and an incremental revenue loss of £300-325 million, or about Rs 3,100-3.350 crore, sources said. JLR has already suffered a loss of close to £4 billion, or about Rs 41,300 crore, in incremental revenues due to the global chip shortage in the first two quarters of 2021-22.

[Also Read: Actor Suniel Shetty Got His Customised Royal Enfield Bike, See the pictures here](https://www.carbike360.com/news/actor-suniel-shetty-got-his-customised-royal-enfield-bike-see-the-pictures-here)

Analysts have factored in wholesale volume of 90,000-95,000 in the third quarter and 120,000-125,000 units in the fourth quarter based on the company’s guidance of easing the chip shortage in the second half. There is a fear that JLR may not be able to reach its break-even production volume around 90,000 this quarter, which would weigh on its operating margin. Tata Motors, in an email, said no comments since it is in a silent period ahead of the second quarter results. The current shutdown translates to four days of production loss for Defender, Discovery, Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, I-pace and E-pace.
“The global semiconductor supply issue represents a significant near-term challenge for the industry, which will take time to work through,” said Lennard Hoornik, chief commercial officer of Jaguar Land Rover. “However, it’s encouraging we were still able to growsales of the Land Rover Defender in Q2.

It must be noted that Defender, Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, and Discovery together contributed nearly 43% of the total retail revenue for the company in the second quarter of FY22. Any volume loss of high-volume driver models may have a pronounced impact on the overall volume as well as margins.

JLR expects the situation to start improving in the second half of the fiscal even as some level of shortages was expected for the coming 12-18 months.

JLR had stated in July 2021 that it expects a substantial improvement in underlying operating cash flow in the second half of the financial year as chip supply improves.
