**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.

Petrol and CNG cars are gaining popularity against diesel cars. With the strict emission norms in action here, various manufacturers have stopped making diesel engines and petrol cars with CNG have become a hot choice.
While petrol engines are usually 1.5 times less fuel-efficient than diesel engines, they can be fed with CNG to gain a mileage more than diesel engines. 
With that said, we have come up with a list of the best petrol sedans in India which you can purchase in 2021. Few of these cars get a company fitted CNG kit while others can have a CNG system in the aftermarket from an authorised CNG centre.
Let's get into the list:

**1. Honda City**

Honda City has been a dream car for many of us. This car became the foundation for Honda cars in India. It is now in its 5th generation and has surpassed sales figures in its segment. 
![Carbike360 Honda city.png](https://api.carbike360.com/uploads/Carbike360_Honda_city_155cca827f.png)
Honda City gets a 1.5-litre iVTEC naturally aspirated petrol engine. It churns out 121PS of power with 145Nm of torque. This engine is very refined and powerful. It has a very good low and middle-end grunt while the high end is quite flat. So, if you are an occasional highway cruiser, you’ll find this car very interesting for your purpose. 
Honda City gets 2 transmission options; a 6-speed manual and CVT. Though the CVT gets the option of paddle shifters, its rubber band effect makes the manual one more fun to drive option. 

**2. Maruti Suzuki Dzire**

Maruti Suzuki Dzire is the most popular vehicle in the compact sedan segment. Its engine is quite dynamic and works great on petrol and CNG fuel without getting any lag. Maruti Suzuki Dzire is in its 3rd generation and doing great on the sales chart.
![carbike360.com- Maruti Dzire..png](https://api.carbike360.com/uploads/carbike360_com_Maruti_Dzire_3bac2cf88e.png)
It gets a 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine. It is capable of churning out 88PS of power with 113Nm of torque. It is a very refined unit and does duty in several other Maruti vehicles as well. 
It comes paired with a manual or AMT transmission. If you are residing in a metro city and take out your car on a daily basis, you’ll love to have this car in AMT.
 The engine is strong and runs very well on CNG as well, however, you may have to get the CNG kit fitted additionally into it. 

**3. Honda Amaze**

Honda Amaze is one of the most successful vehicles after Honda City from the Japanese brand. It was first introduced in 2013 and brought Honda’s first diesel engine in India. 
However, Honda has always been a master of petrol engines and they know how a low spec engine can perform like a boss. 
![carbike360 Honda Amaze.png](https://api.carbike360.com/uploads/carbike360_Honda_Amaze_345a861956.png)
Honda Amaze has a 1.2-litre iVTEC petrol engine which is powering other Honda vehicles as well including Honda Jazz, Honda WRV, and now discontinued Honda Brio. 
It comes with either a manual transmission or a CVT. The CVT is a breeze in tier 1 cities’ traffic conditions and comes with paddle shifters.
If you are planning to fit in a CNG kit in the car, we would recommend you to go for manual transmission. You can expect a mileage of 16-17 kmpl with petrol.

**4. Hyundai Aura**

Hyundai Aura arrived with a 1.2-litre petrol engine that does duty in Grand i10, i20, Grand i10 Nios and Xcent. This engine is very economical and has decent performance as well. 
Later on, Hyundai decided to bless it with the 1.0-litre turbo petrol engine which is a more powerful unit and does duty in Hyundai Venue, Grand i10 Nios, new i20, and Kia Sonet. 
![Carbike360.Hyundai Aura.png](https://api.carbike360.com/uploads/Carbike360_Hyundai_Aura_bfc87dd792.png)
This engine is available in different states of tuning in all these vehicles and the Aura gets 100PS of power with 170Nm of torque. You get a company fitted CNG kit in this car which makes your driving cost much lower than any other car in the segment.
The car’s lighter weight is well suited for this engine and keeps the driver happy during overtakes and in need of sudden power surge. 
This car gets an abundance of features inside the car and a comfortable cabin for longer sitting hours. 

**5. Skoda Rapid **

Skoda is known for the quality of their products and Rapid is one of the brilliant products they manufactured. 
This car is a driver’s delight. Though the prices of this car fall between 10 and 13 lakhs, Skoda has introduced an affordable version of this car with the Rapid Rider. This variant gets all the bells and whistles except a few ones. 
![carbike360.com Skoda..png](https://api.carbike360.com/uploads/carbike360_com_Skoda_7695981a33.png)
Steering mounted audio controls, projector lights, alloy wheels and fog lamps are a few of the prominent things which are missing in this car compared to the upper variants. It gets all the safety features and the robust structure to keep you safe.
Skoda Rapid Rider gets a 1-litre TSI engine which is a superb combination of power and nearness. 
The engine generates 109PS of power and 175Nm of torque. This car offers you choices between 6-speed manual and 6-speed torque converter units. 
Unlike other manufacturers, both the transmissions are robust and deliver good performance. You can expect 13-15KMPl of mileage from this car.
So which car got your interest? Is it the hot-selling Maruti Suzuki Dzire which comes with rock-solid reliability and easy maintenance or you’d like to go with a driver-friendly Skoda rapid Rider? Let us know in the comments and we’ll help you get the right car as per your needs.

Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza compact SUV was first introduced at the Auto Expo 2016. Since then it has been a popular vehicle and became another money churner for the Indo-Japanese brand.
While it is still selling in good numbers, Maruti Suzuki is working on the next generation of this vehicle. The All new Maruti Vitara Brezza will be based on a completely new platform and will carry better equipment on offer too. 
The demand of a complete makeover arised due to the rise in the competition and their offerings. The closest and popular rivals from South Korea are better equipped and offer more value for money.

This automatic unit is an outdated one and the competition has much better automatics including the 7-speed DCT in Kia Sonet and Hyundai Venue. 
The All new car will replace the 4-speed torque converter with a 6-speed unit to live up to the expectations of Maruti’s loyal buyers. It will also make this compact SUV more fun to drive and better for highway cruising. 
While the car is currently crowned with 4-star safety rating from Global NCAP, it gets only dual Airbags for front passengers. With the new generation, it will get 6 airbags in the top end variant and hence will be safer than before.  
Another big update to the car would be a sunroof. This feature has become quite common in this segment and even one segment below too. To offer better or even at par with the current competition, Maruti will be planting a Sunroof unit while ensuring better safety.

Top 10 Sub 4-meter Compact SUVs in India As Per Sales Data

![Top5 Best selling cars..png](https://api.carbike360.com/uploads/Top5_Best_selling_cars_67d4bf9022.png)


What a year it has been for the utility vehicle (UV) segment – the shining star of the overall passenger vehicle market – in what was a pandemic-impacted FY2021. Utility vehicle was the sole sub-segment from the passenger vehicle (PV), commercial vehicle, three- and two-wheeler segments to be in positive territory last fiscal. Not only that, in FY2021 (only 11 months considering April 2020 
was a zero-production-and-sales month), the UV segment accounted for 39.12 percent of total PV sales of 27,11,457 units. This betters its FY2020 performance when it accounted for 34.10 percent (9,45,959) of the total PV sales of 27,73,519 units.

The consistent bestsellers were the new Hyundai Creta, Maruti Vitara Brezza, Hyundai Venue, Kia Seltos and the Maruti Ertiga. Not surprisingly, they constitute the top 5 bestselling UVs in India and accounted for 45.75 percent – or 4,85,386 units – of total UV sales of 10,60,750 units. As assumed correctly by Autocar Professional, Utility Vehicle sales in India crossed one million or 10 lakh units for the first time in a single year (or eleven months).
A close look at Top 5 UV stats for FY2021 and FY2020 reveals that it’s the same or refreshed models but in a different order. So, come along for the number-crunching ride as we take a close look at how this five-pack has performed in the fiscal year that was.

![Top5 Best selling cars..png](https://api.carbike360.com/uploads/Top5_Best_selling_cars_67d4bf9022.png)

1 - Hyundai Creta: 1,20,035 units - The new Hyundai Creta, launched in March 2020, is the new UV leader, having wrested the crown from the Maruti Vitara Brezza. Right from launch, the Creta vaulted into pole position and never left it. Not only that, at 1,20,035 units in difficult market conditions, it notched 46 percent year-on-year growth (FY2020: 82,074) and catapulted from fourth rank to UV leader in FY2021. 
Fuel-wise split for the Creta – 72,329 diesel and 47,706 petrol – is 60:40 in favour of diesel, indicative of the fact that the Korean carmaker’s strategy to remain bullish on diesel is paying off. The Creta’s pack of powertrains comprises 1.5-litre petrol, 1.5-litre diesel and a 1.4-litre turbocharged petrol engine. Clearly, the new BS 6-compliant diesel motor has outpaced the other two when it comes to market pull. 
The importance of the new Creta to Hyundai’s standing in the market as the No. 2 player can be gleaned from the fact that, of the total 2,14,167 UVs it has sold in the past 10 months, the Creta accounts for 56 percent, with sibling Venue contributing 43 percent to Hyundai UV numbers.
The new Creta, which competes with the Kia Seltos, MG Hector, Renault Duster and Nissan Kicks, has, along with the Venue, helped drive Hyundai’s UV market share to 20.19 percent, just below Maruti Suzuki India, which has 21.60 percent.
2 – Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza: 94,635 units - The Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza, which is now available only in petrol, may have lost its UV crown to the Hyundai Creta, but to Maruti Suzuki’s credit, the compact SUV has shown grit in chalking sales of 94,655 units, in a year when the carmaker moved out of the diesel market.
In FY2020, the Brezza had sold 1,10,641 units, with 98,280 units or 89 percent of them being diesel. In what can be called strong rearguard action, Maruti Suzuki launched the petrol-engined model on February 6, 2020, and the resultant strong consumer demand shows that the carmaker is close to filling the gap left by the absence of the diesel Brezza.
The Vitara Brezza shares its 105hp and 138Nm, 1.5-litre K15B petrol engine with other Marutis like the Ciaz, Ertiga and XL6. A 5-speed manual gearbox is standard, while a 4-speed torque converter-equipped auto is available as an option. Interestingly, Suzuki’s SHVS Smart Hybrid tech is reserved for automatic versions of the compact SUV only. On the fuel efficiency front, variants with the 5-speed manual are ARAI-certified, at 17.03kpl, while the automatic, with the mild-hybrid tech, delivers 18.76kpl.
The Brezza is retailed through the company’s Arena network, which has around 2,600 outlets spread across 1,900 cities. The massive footprint, combined with the automaker’s brand image, is expected to continue being a significant force behind the Brezza’s sales. 
3 – Hyundai Venue: 92,972 units - The second Hyundai model in the Top 5 list, the Venue, sold a total of 92,972 units (FY2020: 93,624), dropping one rank in FY2021. While the initial part of the fiscal saw the Venue being impacted by surging demand for the new Creta, demand picked up in the second half.
Unlike its sibling Creta, which sees customers preferring it in diesel guise, the Venue saw overwhelming demand for its petrol variants. Between April 2020-March 2021, the petrol-engined Venue was bought by 73,580 buyers, while the diesel model was preferred by 19,392 buyers. This makes for a 79:21 percent split in favour of petrol.
The recent past has seen Hyundai introduce minor updates to the Venue. In addition to the upgrade to BS6, the company has added a new ‘Sport’ trim and a clutchless manual gearbox, or intelligent manual transmission (iMT) in Hyundai-speak, to the model’s line-up. But new competition in the form of the Kia Sonet, Toyota Urban Cruiser, Nissan Magnite and Renault Kiger is already in the market. 
4 – Kia Seltos: 89,173 units - Kia Motors India’s bestselling model is at No. 4 position in FY2021, moving up one rank from FY2020 when it sold 81,717 units. The Korean carmaker’s first product in India has felt the heat from the new Hyundai Creta and sibling Sonet too has pulled in the numbers with 63,717 units sold in its first year in India.
The Seltos’ total sales in FY2021 comprised 38,237 diesel variants and 50,936 petrol variants, making for a 43:57 percent fuel split in favour of petrol.
The Seltos has been instrumental in giving Kia a strong foothold in the Indian market and the company currently has a 14.68 percent UV market share – not bad for a 20-months-in-the-market carmaker, which is now third in the pecking order among 16 UV players, having gone ahead of Mahindra & Mahindra (14.66 percent) by a whisker.
The Seltos recently received a 3-star crash test rating in the latest round of tests conducted by Global NCAP, under its Safer Cars for India initiative. The entry-level variant of the Seltos was chosen for the crash test.
5 – Maruti Ertiga: 88,571 units - With total sale of 88,571 units, Maruti Suzuki India's Ertiga MPV drops three ranks in FY2021 to take fifth place (FY2020: 90,543). Like sibling Vitara Brezza, pin that on the company moving out of the diesel market last fiscal. In FY2020, the diesel-engined Ertiga had sold 39,731 units or 44 percent of total sales.

India is receiving a plethora of new cars and when it comes to Rs. 10 lakh bracket, the choices get humongous. You get multiple options in each and every segment be it SUV, hatchback, sedan MPV, etc. 
Hence, to sort out your worries about your next best pick, we have come up with the top 5 upcoming cars in India under 10 lacs in 2021. 

**1.	Citroen C3 Aircross**
Citroen is the latest entrant in this segment which has already launched a premium SUV C5 Aircross in Indian market. The Citroen C3 Aircross will carry a similar look as its elder sibling with subtle changes to justify its size.

The C5 Aircross will be powered by a 1.2-litre petrol engine paired to a manual and a DCt automatic transmission. The CMP platform over which it is planted will also underpin Jeep compact SUV in the times to come. It will be competing with the Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza, Toyota Urban Cruiser, Tata Nexon, Kia Sonet, Hyundai Venue, Mahindra XUV300 and Honda WRV.

**2.	Honda Jazz**
Honda Jazz has always been a great car though, it never reached as many buyers as it deserved to get. The 2021 version of the Honda Jazz has been unveiled in some nations including its home country, and it is expected to soon land on the Indian ground too.
 
The design of the new Jazz is a completely new affair, still it resembles its original shape which makes it a very practical and comfortable car. The new headlamps look way modern than the existing ones due to the new shape. At the rear, the car looks more balanced and well rounded across the edges. We are expecting it to be powered by the same engine that’s currently powering the car along with the mild hybrid system.

**3.	VW Polo**
VW Polo is the longest living car in its segment. Since last one decade, the car has received no changes to its original design, however, VW keeps updating it with the trending features in the market including a blacked out headlamp barrel, modern stereo system, new steering wheel, better looking alloy wheels, etc.
 
VW Polo will see a radical change in its shape. It has already been introduced in various countries and India will receive a slightly tuned version to suit the Indian norms and road conditions.
 
It’ll get the same 1.0-litre TSI petrol engine with a manual and torque converter unit. VW may bring another powerful engine i.e. 1.5-litre TSI petrol from the Skoda Kushaq and VW Taigun, but it carries very rare chances.

**4.	Tata Hornbill**
Tata Hornbill has covered a good number of rounds of tests on highways and rural areas. It is dubbed as the smallest SUV in Tata's portfolio and will carry a lot of goodies for first time car buyers.

Visually, the Hornbill gets a front design which is a mix of Tata Harrier and Tata Nexon. If you notice, it gets a bonnet which is similar to the Nexon while the LED DRL unit resembles to be taken from Harrier. 

Additionally, it’ll get diamond cut alloy wheels and a sloping roof line to make it look more urban. In terms of engine, it’ll get Tata Tigor, Tiago and Altroz’s 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine along with a manual and AMT transmissions.

**5.	Maruti Suzuki Baleno based SUV**
Maruti Suzuki Baleno is among the most successful products from the brand. It gets huge value for money and is highly inexpensive to maintain. Maruti is coming up with an SUV based on Baleno. It’ll be positioned below VItara Brezza and will carry the same engine as the donor vehicle. 

In terms of design, the new vehicle will have a big shift from Baleno’s architecture. It’ll have more SUV-ish features and sharper edges. The spied image of the car has a chunky big front grill with angular LED DRL and LED headlamps with a floating fluorescent green stripe in between. We also expect this vehicle to get the 1.0-litre turbo petrol engine during the launch.
