Common mistakes often occur when draining and refilling, and add water to the radiator. Current drain and refill the radiator water, a common mistake is to throw skipped wind through the wind, exhaust bolts, which generally position near the cylinder head. Error when adding water to the radiator is not perfect or close the radiator reservoir cover, causing overheating in the engine.

In order not to make a mistake that will adversely affect the car's engine, while draining, refilling, and add water to the radiator there are steps that need your attention.

1. First, open the radiator exhaust bolts under the radiator. Wait until the water in the radiator and the engine lost all.

 2. Close the radiator and open the discharge screw bolts flatulence. Furthermore, the content of water in the radiator with coolant radiator (radiator coolant) until water radiator coolant exit through bolt flatulence.

  3. Close the bolt flatulence and leave open the radiator cap. At the position of the AC off, start the engine until the temperature reaches the ideal temperature, i.e. at temperatures needle pointing half and spinning radiator fan.

4. If the volume is reduced, add water to the radiator to the max, and close the back radiator.

5. Check the reserve tank. If dirty quickly drain and refill with new coolant radiator fluid, up to the limit. Tighten the radiator cap and reservoir cap.

6. The first time you drive after draining the water radiator, radiator check again the volume of water in the reserve tank, add if less.

Add water to the radiator, you should not use plain water as it will simplify happens rust in the water channel. Except in emergencies, radiator water can be filled with plain water. After normal conditions, apply dewatering and refill the radiator with coolant radiator.

Bad Habits of Women When Riding a Motorcycle

Riding a motorcycle is a skill that is made for men. Nevertheless, it is no secret that women have good skills in riding a motorcycle. Moreover, now it is the time of automatic motorbike that provides easiness for women who want to ride a motorcycle.

Although it could be riding a motorcycle alone, but the softer side of a woman cannot go away when you're riding a motorcycle. Not infrequently it actually harmful to himself and those around him on the highway.

Here are some bad habits that harm women while riding a motorcycle.

• Women are more concerned with neatness of appearance of the vehicle regardless of the condition of the vehicle eligibility.
• Women tend to pay more attention to the aesthetic appearance of clothing in driving such as wearing high heel shoes (high heels), excessive accessory, shawl / scarf, and carry a tote bag that can affect the safety.
• Wearing a jacket in reverse (the bark is used in the front) is considered more effectively withstand wind from the front, and this is disturbing both hands when maneuvering.
• Holding the steering / handlebars with the biceps position above or gas rotate with the hands reversed (from the bottom).
• For in some areas, the use of helmets is often not appropriate because the maximum record or not disturbed by the hair bun and the hijab / veil thick.
• Sideways sitting position while piggybacking or be a passenger.
• Because too familiar feel 'privileged' in their daily lives, women subconsciously feel as always, take precedence and safe even on the highway. Example: turning abruptly, turn without signaling first, drove at speeds below the average of other vehicles in the vicinity.
• Index and middle fingers of the right hand always sticks to the front brake lever.
• Carry one or more than two small children without wearing a helmet.
• Operating the phone.

Hopefully this can be a learning material for us to drive right and avoid the things that are not desirable.

Here's How to Take Care of Helmet

Helmet is one of the fittings is very important and there should be when riding a motorcycle for the rider safety, helmet functions as one of the chief patrons of the dust, the heat and also minimize the occurrence of fatal injuries due to accidents.

Although a helmet is only used as a protective course, but care helmet is necessary, especially if the helmet is used almost every day. If we are less cared for helmets despite the only smell it, can distract our journey. Smell musty and moldy glass can be the most frequent disorders arise, if the user does not take good care.

Treatment good helmet that are not easily smelted, should be washed once a month, their role is so dirt does not accumulate on the helmet which causes mildew and odor-causing bacteria on the helmet. When the helmet is finished is used, stored in an open helmet on the glass, do not closed, and when the hole should be put in place helmet helmet, but not facing downwards facing upwards, so that the circulation of air inside the helmet is not disturbed so that the smell that comes from sweat after use can be missing.

Besides washing, other treatments are often dried helmet twice in one month, or put in a place that exists at maximum air circulation so as not to smell musty. Never too old to put helmets on the box or in a storage area that is not optimal air circulation. If the helmet worn over loose should be exposed to rain visor and foam, do not jump in store. This is to avoid a musty odor and mildew.

Here's How to Care For the Power Window

Power window is one of the important components in a car. These components provide comfort and convenience for the driver and passengers when opening and closing the car window. With the power windows, you do not need a powerful force to open the car window, simply press the power window with a little effort, then the window will open and close with ease.

Car Window

Power steering is actually an intricate component, is not as easy use, therefore, to take care of the power window requires special expertise. Sometimes we did not heed the existence of the power window that has a very important function is, therefore, the power windows do not care so we pay attention. If not treated properly, the power windows will function not as well as stalled or jammed.

There are a few things you should consider when treating power windows on cars, which are:

Symptoms that can be felt when performance Power Window is no longer the maximum is choked up when raising or lowering the car window. This will cause effects in the form of glass becomes skewed and cause the glass would not close completely when it will be closed. This is usually caused by a rubber glass and dirty power rail. Never let the power windows work in such conditions. We recommend that you check the power window of your car every six months. If you went through the streets are often very dusty, then treatment should be done more frequently.

Power window treatments you can make yourself at home when they have free time, beginning with a rubber cleaning the glass. The way is prepared silicon spray which can be easily found at hardware stores. Do not use liquid penetrant because this is precisely the sort of fluid will invite dust to come back. Silicone spray will be more neutral and functioning properly.

Note rubber dust barrier which also serves to filter out the dust on the glass before the glass diturunakan. Spray along the lines of rubber and includes rubber attached to the door frame, then wipe with a clean cloth. Silicone spray can shed dirt and is also able to restore the condition of the rubber as before.

To take care of the dirty rail power window takes extra effort that will also require you to malakukan dismantling the car door. The first thing you should do is open the door trim to care for the inside of the power window. Be careful when opening the door trim. Make sure that you do not break anything. If so, consider the power rail on the top to see his condition. If the condition of the power rail is dry, apply a little oil to make it more slippery. Do not give too much oil so as not to contaminate the glass at the time lowered.

To treat plastic, glass holders should be careful and pay attention to the age of plastic, because the older the age, the more fragile plastic glass holder. Do not forget to clean the glass with the plastic also remain cautious attention to the surrounding conditions.

Tips Driving an Automatic Car

Automatic car is a type of vehicle that has comfort for the rider, because you just simply step on the gas pedal and brake with no clutch pedal. However, when driving a car is quite difficult, especially for beginners, especially for those of you who are familiar with the car manual. Equipped with an automatic transmission type, can make it easier for the motorist.

Automatic car is actually more simple and not too difficult to operate. Driving an automatic car requires adjustments and knowledge for beginners and riders who usually use a manual car.

Many problems when driving, using automatic car, make the car factory deal and provide specific guidelines to drive automatic cars. Sometimes the driver does not have more time when they want to learn or read the guide, which adversely affects such as mechanical failure, accidents and other problems.

Here are some tips on how to drive an automatic car and drive for beginners and how to operate the automatic car right.

Tips and how to drive an automatic car first, namely, pay attention to the position and order replacement gear lever, you have to memorize the problem until it was mastered. These tips to avoid mistakes in replacing the transmission lever. After completely memorized and replacement gear lever has become a habit, then there will be no longer the case entered the gear lever position.

Next, you refract to liberate left foot from the clutch pedal, the automatic car available two, namely the accelerator pedal and brake pedal. This is so free turbos left foot pedal, which aims to avoid the risk of a mistake on the brakes when you are in a state car RPM climb.

Third is getting used to the brakes every time you switch the transmission, so that when you're changing the transmission, the car will not run by itself. This is a common problem among motorists automatically.

How to drive an automatic car next that you pay attention to the road that will pass, if the area is full of climbs or state road riding, you should move the transmission in position L. In circumstances such a position, the transmission can only move between the teeth of one to two. Currently the downhill road position is also useful as an engine brake, so that the machine is working properly.

Tips for motorists latter automatically is important to understand the function of the hold button. The key is a locking feature and can be operated when the gear lever is in position D. When the button is activated, the feature will automatically lock the car in gear two and three.

How to Measure and Determine Tire Pressure

Each type of vehicle has a tire pressure varies according to the shape, size, weight and function. Therefore, in addition to keeping the performance of the vehicle in order to keep the maximum, measure tire pressure is an important ritual that should not be overlooked as a major impact on safety and driving comfort.

The tire pressure is too high or excessively can interfere with driving comfort due to the harsh conditions of the tires are very sensitive to road conditions. In addition to the potential to cause damage to some parts of the vehicle due to the vibrations that are too loud. It also can accelerate the wear and tear on the tires, especially in the middle.

On the other hand, tire pressure that is too low is not good because it can accelerate the wear and tear on the tires, especially on the edges. Conditions such as these tires make the vehicle harder to control, thus forcing power steering to work harder and can make fuel consumption became more extravagant.

  

How To Know The Right Tire Pressure

Knowing how proper tire pressure is not difficult because it is described in terpeinci by any vehicle manufacturer and tire manufacturer that you use.

View Manual

The first way to find out how the right tire pressure is to read the instructions from the manual that is included when you purchase the vehicle. Usually every vehicle manufacturers include complete information related to the size of the tire pressure as a guide for vehicle owners.

Find Hidden Code

Another way to find out how the proper air pressure for your tires is to observe a code number that is listed on the sticker, usually attached to the driver's side door pillar.

Matching Load Index and Tables

If the tire that you are using is replaced with a different size than the standard version, the two ways above are no longer valid because the tire pressure can also be different.

Achievement of the maximum load of new tires must be adapted to the previous tire. To do this you need to know the code load index (load index) than standard tires you used to use, and then match it to the load index table. After the meeting, new you can find out how the most appropriate air pressure in the tires of your vehicle.

 How to Measure Tire Pressure

After knowing clearly how the right tire pressure for your vehicle tires, next you need to do is measure it directly. To do so, there are two ways that you can take; IE uses the tool or use senses.

1. How to Measure Tire Pressure With Tool

How to measure the tire pressure first is to use a tire pressure gauge. The tool is already widely available in the market and can be obtained easily.

Tire pressure gauges that are currently on the market consists of various types with the uniqueness of each. However, the general tire pressure gauge is divided into two types, namely tire pressure gauge analog and digital.

Analog tire pressure gauge

Analog-type tire pressure gauge usually has a cylindrical shape with a needle pointed. Rim needle for pressure unit psi, bar, and so has the sign respectively.

Digital Tire Pressure Gauges

Digital tire pressure gauge manifold can be regarded as a modern version of a tire pressure gauge needle that still rely on. As the name implies, this one has a measuring system utilizing a digital numerical display numerical unit of pressure psi, bar and kPa.

Compared with analog tire pressure gauge, the ability of the resulting digital tire gauge is more accurate because it may indicate the accuracy of the numbers to semicolon in tow.

Here are the steps to measure tire pressure using the tool:

● We recommend that you do check the pressure when the tires are still in cold conditions in order to reach the truth. Because in hot conditions tend to increase the tire pressure.

● Make sure you have set up a tire pressure gauge.

● Open the tire valve cap.

● Navigate with the tool tip to the end of the valve and press with precise and powerful (make sure the right position so that the air inside the tire does not go out in vain and the tool can measure the pressure perfectly.

● gauge showed the number of your tire pressure at that time.

● If it turns out the figures indicate that the tire pressure is too low, then immediately add. Vice versa, if the pressure is too high, then you can reduce it gradually until it reaches the correct number.

● If you are measuring tire was already in hot conditions, it's good to add wind to 1 psi considering the condition of the tire that has been inflated.

2. How to Measure Tire Pressure With Indra

How to measure the tire pressure is to do it by using the senses or feelings. But keep in mind, to do this it takes experience and thoroughness.

Although not a recommended way, but with the senses tire pressure gauge can be the most practical solution when the desperate condition. Here's how to measure tire pressure with the senses:

Note Forms Ban

The first step is to measure tire pressure is with a sense of attention to the shape of tires and tire pressure estimating whether it is appropriate or not. Look carefully how the shape and length of the field area of ​​contact between the tire and the road.

More advisable to do this on the front side and in brightly lit conditions. If you are already used to doing this, then you will be able to know whether the tire has an excess pressure through forms that are too bloated, or even less because too constricted shape.

At Ban and Note response

If just by observing it is still not enough, you can also measure tire pressure by utilizing your own feet or other objects such as hammers and wooden beams were quite loud. This trick is quite unreliable, especially if you are in poor lighting conditions, or the tire you want to measure the pressure of tires on vehicle weight is relatively large.

How, at the tire with the feet, hammer or wooden beams and note the sound produced from the heat. Note also how the violence pentathlon generated if too strong or light. If the tire is very loud sounds when hit and passable strong reflections, it could be air pressure inside is too high. Vice versa, if the reflection light and the sound generated is too low, then the most likely wind pressure in it too low.

Recognize Automatic Car Transmissions

Cars that use automatic or automatic transmission has been around a long time, but the first use of an automatic transmission is not as popular as a manual transmission. It is caused by; the gear change is still lacking precision, fuel consumption is relatively wasteful and the price is expensive.

Now, along with the development of technology and the increasingly dense traffic, used Matic car even more popular. The ability of today's automatic transmissions is more precise in the process of changing gear, the harmony between the engine and transmission performance that makes more efficient fuel consumption, as well as driving comfort offered Matic car in the face of the capital city density makes it more popular and the population was growing.

Automatic transmission in a car designed to make driving a car, however the basic things, piloting types of automatic car needs to be known. Please note the following review to determine the basic properties of an automatic car.

The Matic car has only two pedals (accelerator and brake). If you are accustomed to driving a manual car where your right foot on the move control of the accelerator and the left foot controlling the brake and clutch pedals, then it will not do the automatic car.

Please understand the meaning of the symbol-symbol on automatic car. The automatic transmission has six types of symbols or options, namely P, R, N, D, 2 and 1. The following is the meaning and the function of each option:

P (Park) locks the transmission completely and used the car when parking. In the P position the car cannot be moved forward or backward, like being used the hand brake or parking brake. In some modern cars, the car key can not be removed if it has not been in the position P.

R (Reverse) function is the same as the car manually, which is a position that is used to make the car move backward.

N (Neutral) also has the same functionality as neutral in a manual car. This position is useful when the queue jammed forcing your car to be in the condition often does not move for a long time. Besides resting the transmission work, is also resting position and foot brake if you use the hand-brake as an alternative to ensure the car does not move.

D (Drive) is the position of the vehicle at a speed and road conditions are normal. This position will automatically adjust the appropriate gear selection, according to the work load and engine speed. Usually the automatic transmission will shift into high gear when the speed increases and switch to low gear when the speed downhill or uphill road position.

2 (Gear 2) and 1 (Gear 1) is used in the face of an uphill road conditions to ensure that the car has considerable power and prevent it from moving further into a higher gear, as well as the face of declining road conditions to make sure that the car also Brake support of the machine other than the four wheels.

The automatic transmission also features a Kick-Down. This feature is useful when requiring high acceleration in quick time, namely when the preceding vehicle in front. High acceleration is obtained by pressing the gas pedal as far as possible by quickly reaching the required speed or acceleration. The process is made possible by maintaining a low gear at high engine speed.

Unlike a manual car, a car that had stalled due to run Matic stun (battery overdrawn) can not be switched by means driven. Therefore, Jumper Cables are mandatory equipment in every car matic driving comfort for the sake of getting support.

It is also important to note is to make sure the car in konsi silence or stop completely before moving the gear lever to position P or R. Forcing the transmission lever to move into position P or R in conditions of moving or walking will only damage the teeth in the transmission and such damage must be redeemed at a cost of expensive repairs.

Note that the automatic transmission also requires special care in order to remain able to function properly and convenient to use. Recognize Signs of Troubled Automatic Transmission and prevented with proper treatment before it happens.

Driving a Car When it Rains

Rain is often a daunting obstacle for motorists, especially cars. At the time of rainy conditions, motorists required concentration and degree of prudence is very high. Because otherwise it will lead to a potentially fatal risk to the driver and passengers were carried. In addition to driving the way motorists also must obey the rules and traffic signs. And do not forget to use either the vehicle lamp headlights, turn signals and fog lamp is a good fit weather conditions and roads are impassable. Because riders often use lights that are not exactly on the road and weather conditions at the time. For example the use of hazard lights during heavy rains but the current traffic conditions. This is one driver errors that can lead to the risk of accidents.

If shortly after heavy rains flushed the street you are going through it is sufficient to use headlights with standard distance alone. If daylight is sufficient to use lights dusk or fog lamp which is enough to give a sign to the vehicle in front of you. Do not turn on the main lights remotely due to this fact, just inviting danger to other vehicles. Moreover, if the dark road conditions and the time at dusk or already night.

Use hazard lights to the right, even though heavy rains flushed the streets if you are going through it is unlawful if it's turned on the lights because it would endanger other motorists behind the driver's or front of the vehicle. For proper use of hazard lights, for example, there is a problem in front of the driver's vehicle and at that time the size of the street is narrow. If heavy rains enough to use standard headlights or fog only.

Revive turn signal at the right time, not too fast and not too long. Estimate the distance, turn right or change direction. Because if it does not fit then it will lead to unwanted risks for drivers and others.

And the last is keep your speed and keep the vehicle, keep the vehicle speed is not too fast. If there is something in front of the driver is not overwhelming to stop the vehicle carrying.

The biggest factor affecting your safety while driving is your own, therefore caution is an action that you must do.

Things That Make Motorcycle Tires Quickly Exhausted

Motorcycle tires will definitely use depleted over time, but did you know that things are trivial sometimes give a great influence. Not unlike the motorcycle tires, trivia below may often do. It may be reasonable because you do not know the consequences.

Therefore, check out the reviews below so you know what a trivial thing can make motorcycle tires be quickly exhausted.

Tires are often the bearing weight

If this is indeed often done, it is natural for your vehicle tires more "wasteful" fast alias bald. Transporting heavy loads, will make the tire pressure to the asphalt becomes stronger. By doing so, the friction between the tires and the asphalt was intensified. If this happens continuously, it's normal alias bald tires will wear out prematurely. Actually, every type of tire already includes the maximum weight, which can and heavy to maintain the performance of the tire. You live viewing only, maximum weight that can be supported, by checking the load index, which is usually listed on the tire wall.

Cleaning rarely tires

This one may seem trivial. Eiiitss... wait...! Let the tires in dirty conditions, it makes it faster wear. Every day, the tires 'meet' various chemicals in the streets. It has the potential to trigger a fast tire rubber brittle. So, Bro and Sist do not hesitate to clean the tires each time the vehicle will be rested, after a day of driving on the street. No need to use a special soap also complicated, because the tires adequately cleaned with a brush and clean water.

Standard side for a long time

Putting the motorcycle with standard position side, it is clearly easier than the standard middle. However, it turns out, it would make a faster bald tire. Standards aside, actually makes the load supported unbalanced shock. Consequently, when a motorcycle driven by the fast left side tire wear due to the greater pressure on one of shock.

Race Sunday, the Dutch MotoGP Change Tradition 66 Years

Dutch MotoGP Will be Held on Sunday Start Season Home - In the MotoGP calendar, the two series is the most unique American Grand Prix held at the Indianapolis circuit and the Dutch GP at Assen Circuit. Indianapolis became one of the most unique series because only holds one race only, namely for the MotoGP class because of the limitations of the paddock. Meanwhile, the Dutch GP at Assen Circuit to be interesting because it is always held on a Saturday. Well, next season calendars 'unique' MotoGP Assen will be reduced because the management decided to move to the MotoGP race schedule Sunday.

Since the event was first held Grand Prix in Assen in 1949, has traditionally Dutch GP is always held on a Saturday. Dutch GP held on the last Saturday in June due to consider religious issues. But recently circuit management made the decision to move the Assen MotoGP race at the Assen schedule on Sunday, same as in other series. The decision to move the race schedule in order to increase the number of spectators.

"In the pattern of the current Dutch state, recreation, sports events on Sunday is much more attractive when compared with sports events on Saturday. Sunday also will get more media attention, "the official statement from the management of the Assen circuit.

Rumors regarding the transfer schedule for Sundays race have actually been pushed for a long time. Some MotoGP riders such as Valentino Rossi and former world champion Casey Stoner has stated its support in order to race in Assen was held on Sunday.

Furthermore, management stated that the Assen circuit in Sunday's race will be more suited to the pattern of other motor racing events because almost all the top sports around the world took place on Sunday.

Despite changing its race day, but organizers still maintain a Dutch GP race at the Assen circuit implementation, namely the last week in July. Assen management considers these schedule changes as ancient races, traditions are packaged in a modern touch.

Dutch GP at Assen circuit itself will be held on Saturday (27/6) tomorrow. The rider will undergo qualifying to determine the starting grid positions with Valentino Rossi as the riders who will start the race the most cutting edge.

Tips Replacing Car Paint

Are you bored with the color of the paint that is long and dull? Do you plan on replacing your car's paint? To facilitate and make more shiny car paint without spending a long time, the varnish can be a very appropriate alternative.

First, prepare all the equipment that is used as a cover parts that will not participate varnished. You can use a used paper as an example. Make sure all parts are closed and only the remaining part to be varnished. Do not let the components you do not want to paint exposed patches of paint.

Sandpaper part dull paint that does need re-varnished. Use sandpaper rough enough so that all the old paint loss and net total. After that, continue to carry out the process of painting with lacquer until evenly

After painting along with the varnish, the next step is the paint dry in the sun. Make sure the place is clean of dust. If there is, it is enough oven space is recommended because it is a sterile place.

Typically, the drying time can take about one full day. After drying everything, do leveling on uneven paint section. The last stage live polished overall.

Good luck.

Tips on Caring For Rearview Mirror

As the rainy season arrives, car rearview requires more frequent maintenance and routine. Rainwater that hit the car rearview mirror will make the glass look opaque and dirty quickly. Meanwhile, the car's rear view mirror clarity is required by the driver.

How important is taking care of the car in the rearview mirror when the rainy season? The answer is important. Dirt, rain that hit the car's rearview, need to be cleaned. If dirty rainwater is allowed to continue, then the dirt on the car's rearview mirror will be somewhat difficult to remove.

How to care for car rearview was quite easy. Can be done at home. Her way, just enough to clean the car rearview alone. But in the rainy season, in cleaning car rearview further intensified in parts of the principal only.

The first step is to take care of the car rearview with existing wiping water spots on the car's rearview mirror. When the car in the rain, there will be water spots this filth. If water spots on glass is not immediately cleaned up, it is prone to the emergence of white spots on the glass and mirror looks blurry. How to wipe with a soft cloth that has been dampened with clean water.

Secondly, by cleaning dirt splashes contained in the rear mirror. As the car crossed the muddy road muddy, there will be splashes of mud attached to the rear mirror. When you have it, then immediately clean. Do not wait until the dirt dries. But if terpaksanya was dry, how clean it is by spraying soapy water and then wipe with a chamois. When confronted with dirt rather difficult to clean, rub gently with a chamois.

Third, by cleaning the motor car's rearview mirror. When the car in the rain, the motor of the mirror and the mechanical systems in the rearview certainly prone to rust. The Rusty car rearview sign is hard driven and arranged according to the needs of the driver. If it is rusty Gini, it must be dismantled. Then clean the rust on the mirror with anti-rust liquid or sprayed with a contact cleaner. This car rear view disassembly can be done at a time when servicing a car.

These three simple tips for caring for a car rearview easy to do. Can be practiced alone. Ideally, these car care tips rearview done after the car exposed to rain or after crossing the muddy road. However, if you do not have time to do it every day, can practice these tips once a week.

Power Steering Pump

Perhaps you are new to know if the power steering pump on the car can we care alone, because people do not pay attention to parts of the power steering pump maintenance on the car. Usually most people simply relied during the oil surface PS still enough / not less was considered fine.

Step right is the power steering pump oil should be changed every 20 thousand kilometers, but it also must be examined whether there is a leak in the power steering pump or not. Although only a seepage leakage course, this is very harmful because droplets / power steering oil seepage will wet compressor pulley A / C because it is located just below the power steering pump and can lead to slippage.

When you have found leaking symptoms, usually from the buttocks power steering pump, power steering oil seepage appears, then it's time power steering pump seals replaced. Replace the power steering pump seals also means changing the oil power steering oil.

Although changing Powes steering pump seals look simple, but need to be careful because the inside of the pump power steering has a very precise. Improper mounting or mounting carelessness resulted in the power steering pump can not work normally. In the power steering pump contained 10 pieces of stainless steel blades charge pump power steering oil, power steering oil lubrication is not maksimalmengakibatkan power steering sounded rough and does not work optimally, be careful to put back because should not be installed upside down.

With power steering correct treatment will extend the life of power steering components and also will make the performance of power steering in good condition until the steering always feels lighter and comfortable.

Check the power steering fluid

Power steering on a car is an important component that helps the driver to drive the steering wheel easily without great effort. Power steering fluid should regularly check to make sure the liquid is still sufficient or need to be added. Perform routine checks least once a week or once a month at the latest. For more details you can read the instructions, servicing your car.

The following tips can you do if you want to check your car's power steering fluid.

1. Examination of power steering fluid is done when the engine is off or the surface of the liquid in cold conditions. In the hot conditions, power steering fluid will spread, the surface of the reservoir is in a higher position when the machine works and in hot conditions.

2. Look for the power steering reservoir on your car. Power steering fluid stored in a reservoir that is attached to the power steering pump.

3. Lift the reservoir lid and noticed a sign that you can find on his measuring stick, whether the fluid needs to be added or is still sufficient. There are several forms of reservoir surface measuring marks on some cars such as:

• In closed reservoir contained a measuring stick that is attached to the lower side shows the surface in full plus condition.

• There are also those with signs on the inner surface of the sheath reservoir indicates which should be filled power steering fluid.

4. If the fluid does need to be added then add the liquid in accordance with the type of fluid that is recommended for your car, read in the service manuals.

5. Pour the liquid into the reservoir as needed. Should not be excessive. Do not fill up much because it can lead to leaks that can cause damage to the power steering.

Hopefully these tips useful for you, good luck.

Vehicle Fuel Efficiency Tips

Although the technology to find alternative fuels for vehicles other than oil, but oil is still the main fuel for vehicles. Vehicle fuel in the form of oil is a resource that cannot be updated, its existence will be less as the continuous usage. Therefore the use of the fuel policy in the form of oil should continue to be done to save the next generation.

The use of oil as a vehicle fuel is still not be eliminated just like that, therefore, we should be able to control and conserve its use. Some steps are done so that we can save fuel for our vehicles is as follows:

• Heat up the engine before the vehicle is used. Heating vehicle need not be too long approximately thirty seconds to one minute is sufficient for perfect combustion of fuel.

• Keeping the engine rotation speed and is always stable at a certain speed. This will make the fuel is always stable out at a certain amount, depending if we stepped on the gas spontaneously or automatically pull the fuel will come out more.

• Use the engine brake more than the use of the brakes, using the engine brake, the vehicle will tend to stop gradually and not suddenly. Except in emergencies must brake suddenly.

• Reduce the performance of AC in the car because the air conditioner is turned on automatically when the engine overload and certainly requires more fuel.

• The wheel should be ideal conditions can not be less wind because it will make the vehicle speed becomes more severe, it can dipatikan machine will go to work extra hard and require more fuel.

• Fix your engine periodically so that the machine works perfectly on each component.

• Using fuel-saving devices sold in the market can also be used as an alternative which, according to the seller claims can save 10% - 35% fuel use.

How to Perform The Correct Braking Car

Braking skill is a skill that must be practiced. With so many cars are equipped with anti-lock brakes (ABS), people just put the brakes on in any situation. This could be a good choice, but not always the best. Braking (even with ABS) can lead to reduced control of the vehicle handling capability and you are really in a situation that is more dangerous. It's better to learn how to put the brakes properly if you want maximum security and control of your vehicle.

1. Avoid braking and turn the steering wheel at the same time. Deflecting wheel while braking can cause the vehicle does not turn as well or not slowed down too much. Race car driver, who has always raced with their vehicles, has studied the skills needed to separate braking and turn the steering wheel at the same time. At the bend at an angle of 90%, the drivers use their brakes before you get to the corner, turned, and then re-use the gas pedal. Each part of the curve (straight before and after the bend) has its own purpose and the separation of brake and steering deflection provide the best traction for the vehicle to make the desired angle. However, it is possible to brake and turn in simultaneously, in one of the following cases:

Brakes-Turn: Turn the wheel to bend while it stepped on the brakes lightly. This will cause the car to lead to the next, pressing the front tire to the ground, giving more grip the steering wheel. These basic techniques, and no corners that must pass without this action.

Emergency Dismissal: If you need to stop quickly, you do not need to be afraid to use the brakes, even in the middle of the corner: With ABS, press the pedal all the way down. Without ABS, press the brake rather hard (70%) and steered the little wheel.

2 Use the brakes smoothly: Press your brake pedal quickly, but not directly. It is important to maximize the potential of your vehicle braking. The goal is to bring the vehicle tires to break traction only. It is important, to avoid brake "working hard" on top of the brake. The reason for this is that at the beginning of braking procedure, when the speed of the car is very fast, the pressure is really needed is not more, not less, appropriate brake pressure, will make the vehicle slow down effectively, as the inertia effect of larger cars. The key is to apply the brakes fast and deep, while applying pressure by using a footrest left leg to stabilize the body. When the pace car was rubbing against the brake, you can relieve the pressure and gentle progressive brake to keep the vehicle at the point of maximum efficiency.

This model refers to the braking control. However, in a real emergency, panic the driver and operate the brakes too lightly. Always better for braking more than too little. In an emergency, it is best to just step on the brake pedal and let the car stop.

3. Practice to stop in the parking lot empty. Start by deliberately applying the brakes with the technique (slip), then you will reduce the braking force until you feel has the best braking technique. Good for pontesi your maximum braking. Open the windows of your car and start at one end of the parking lot. Accelerate the car to a safe speed (40-60 Km / h) and press your brakes as hard as you can. You should hear pretty much the sound of tires squealing. If you do not hear it, you may have to check the ABS, or (which is not yet technologically ABS) brakes you may need to be repaired. Continue to apply this by repeatedly until you are able to apply your brakes, while the concentration of small voices heard squealing tires you (this is called the optimum point squeeze - OSP).

You can calculate this by setting markers when starting the car braking and when you stop, and you can visually see the difference between your tires and the brakes are working properly or not.

Extra practice: Accidentally lock your brakes. Now the practice of reducing the pressure on the pedal until it stops to lock, then apply pressure again to OSP again). Inevitably, you will go to the OSP your way, or you will change the surface during braking, that's why this practice is very important.

Note: each surface and speed will have a different OSPs. This is why you have to practice when road conditions were dry, raining or the road conditions, then when the snow (if available). Position yourself enough to suit different levels of traction so that no one will surprise you.

4. Use the brake, ABS: in almost all cases, you smoothly by pressing the brake pedal (although fast) on the road surface. You may feel good pedal vibrate (depending on conditions ABS) or feel like your car gives total braking (ABS independent). Whatever it is, this is a sign of work ABS - do not panic and do not take your foot off the brake pedal! Of course, if the pedal feels like it gives a burst effect, and you do not stop, your brakes may provide a burst, in which case you should try to shift into neutral (N) in the vehicle automatic transmission or a lower gear, than when you are in transmission manual vehicle

5. Avoid using your transmission for a quick stop. The transmission is designed to accelerate the vehicle not to slow it down. Design of the points the load on transmission gears are not designed for this. It was not a component of the braking system. If you operate a tractor trailer, it is a different story. They are equipped with air brakes and brake machines for reasons that are not relevant to the car. However, it is good practice to use engine braking (lower than the transmission gear usually) to maintain or reduce the current speed on the long lane that runs down the hill. The heat generated by the engine is absorbed and removed by an efficient cooling, radiators, and fans, which prevents the brakes from overheating so that the transmission will be most effective when it is necessary for maximum braking results.

Good sitting position when riding a motorcycle

Riding a motorcycle that is good and right, maybe for some people is that it does not really matter, but in fact the impact is fatal for motorcyclists in case of an accident. This is related to a sitting position and hand position when the motorcycle driving on the road. Because by applying the correct sitting position for safe and comfortable when the motorcycle driving on the road, will provide a sense of comfort and security to the bikers.

Sitting position when driving with a motorcycle, you should position the thigh to the foot should be straight when sitting on the seat of a motorcycle. Thighs and legs are not out of excess of motorcycle body field. Meanwhile, the position of the right hand is bent a little, or about 30 degrees.

Motors of all types, hand positions required in the position of the curve 30 degrees. Why is that, because if the straight arm position while holding the handlebars, this position is very dangerous. In the event of a collision or hit the hole, then the hand will experience a fatal injury. In addition, the stability of the motorcycle handlebar can be hard on the body as it passes through the damaged roads.

So also with the position of the thighs and legs. Not a few motorists on the road that looks more straddle, leaving the thighs and legs out of the body of the motorcycle. If this practice continues, it is possible to be easy tersenggol passing another vehicle. The impact could be making your legs broken.

Some may argue that the sitting position and safe hands when riding a motorcycle is the best position that has become habitual and comfortable to do so. It is okay to do, but still have to pay attention that we are not alone on the road. Therefore, whatever the customs and way of riding a motorcycle is right in understanding and habits of each, still have to pay attention to other motorists on the road. Do not let the things that we think is comfortable even endanger other motorists.

motorcycle riding safe

Knowing how to ride a motorcycle safely correct and must be known by every rider. Not only is it important for you to have a driver's license, but mentahui how to ride a motorcycle is good and right is for safety driving. How to Correct Riding Motorcycles and Safe?

Tips and How Riding a Motorcycle

1. When going to the street, look towards the back in order to check if anyone or anything behind us.
2. Position both hands when holding the handlebar is made angled / rectangle, the second hand is not in a position to tense or straight. And the position of the body in a relaxed state, not tense or stiff.
3. Using four fingers when the brakes (front brakes). Not recommended to use two fingers because besides not optimal, rev the engine still has not stopped in full.
4. Braking distance to the object in front of us in accordance with the rate of speed. For example, the speed of 60 km / h, then ideally the braking've done 60 meters of the object in front of us.
5. Our legs parallel to the 'wings' outer parts of the motorcycle, and to the type of motorcycle sport, then both knees we should stick to the tank.
6. Do not carry more than it wide handlebar, because it would interfere when the motorcycle turns.
7. When it falls, the motorcycle should be removed, do not touch. This is to avoid fatal injuries due to crushed or hit the motorcycle components.

Tips on Buying a Motorcycle That Had Been Use

What should be considered when buying a used motorcycle.

Physical condition

Physical forms part of the first note, because this section you can see once you choose used motorcycle you want to buy. Look carefully, by means of:

- Whether there are parts that are not normal, such as former accident, scratched and so on.

- Are the paint is still original from the manufacturer or has been repainted.

- Are there any missing small parts, for example bolts.

- Check motorcycle wheels, whether normal or still exist cracks, blisters and so on.

This is very important, considering the physical condition is one determinant of price. If you know that the paint you choose a motorcycle that has changed is not the original paint, then the price of a motorcycle that you choose should not be too high, because the paint from different manufacturers quality and has been designed so as to survive in any weather conditions when compared to ordinary paint , And make sure that all parts are attached to a motorcycle in question is the original parts, because it also affects your safety when driving.

Number motorcycle engine and frame

Which is later to do with the maintenance of the transfer of ownership to the police. It's very important. Is this second number in accordance with what is stated in the letter motor vehicle. This is related to the legal status of the motorcycle itself, if the number of motorcycle engine and frame has been changed then you are prohibited from buying the motorcycle.

Letter completeness Vehicles

Completeness letter is a mandatory requirement if you want to buy a motorcycle.

Machine

By turning on the machine, you will also know whether a motorcycle engine is okay or not. By turning on the machine, you can also determine whether or not there was a strange noise at motorcycle engine you choose. It can also prevent you from charging excessive fees when you've brought home your motorcycle.

Shift

Gearshift in the machine also needs to be tested, before you actually approved the purchase of second-hand motorcycle, a time to try out the performance of the motorcycle. Gearshift comfortable and no problems will make your trip safe, but if the problem persists, then avoid buying the motorcycle.

Electrical

Electricity such as lights, horn, turn signal, rear brake light function normally. Make sure all the work, so you can memastika no damage to components on the condition of the battery used motorcycle

Framework motorcycle

Make sure you also check on the motorcycle frame, whether the front wheel to the rear is still in a state of symmetrical or not, make sure the front and rear brakes are still functioning well, also swingarm at the rear of the motorcycle in a symmetrical position. This greatly affects the safety and comfort you when you are driving.

Price

One of the most important things you need to look at is the price. You have to understand the state of the market price. Make sure the used motorcycle that you seek is at the standard price in the market. Typically used motorcycle market price can be obtained either from the print media or also of several sites that provide information on various prices used motorcycle.

Invite people who understand the machine

If there are relatives or acquaintances who you think is better understood machine than you, it is better invite them to give judgment. At least you have a second opinion.

Five Motorcycle Parts That Must be Considered Cleanliness

Washing the motorcycle is work to do, especially if the motorcycle is often used. Clean motorcycle is not only unsightly, but also makes these motors become more durable. Dirt on the body of the motorcycle is one of the causes of motorcycle becomes not durable. For example, if the dirt sticks to the iron parts, if not washed long meal will cause rust causes porous iron.

Any section on a motorcycle that need to be cleaned of dirt? The following main sections that you must pay attention to cleanliness.

1. Chain

After washing the motorcycle, note this section. Supposedly, regularly lubricated (chain lube). Clean the dirt on the chain. Usually in the rainy season, lubricating the chain is reduced. Even the fine sand that sticks to the chain and sprocket can cause premature wear of these components.

Therefore, after being washed with a special liquid (chain cleaner). Do not clean the chain with gasoline because it can cause the rubber to the sprocket so brittle.

2. Buffer side and center

This section also easy to rust if left dirty. Clean around this pit with water sprayed and cleaned with a brush or an old toothbrush. After the liquid spray anti-rust, for example, WD-40, and so on. Standard side and center movement easier. If not, or no part as dirty or rusty, usually hard-driven standards.

3. Brake linings and disc brake piston

Brake linings are made of asbestos, if frequent contact with water will harden when dry. The solution after washing, applying the brakes as often as possible so that the canvas is completely dry. Dirt on the disc is very likely interfere with the piston and canvas to maximum performance. For the rear wheels that still use drum brakes, not just lining and drum should be cleaned, as well as moving the brake shoe lever.

4. Neck exhaust

Note any motorcycle passing, certainly undergone many changes in lleher muffler, become slightly creamy because there are a lot of crust. Cause, part seldom washed. Because of the heat, dirt and rain water easily dry out in this section. If allowed to continue, causing loss.

5. Wheels

Wheel washed with a soft brush. Dirt mixed with rain water if left unchecked, causing rapid wheel wear.

Ttips on Buying a Used Car Rim

One part of the car that are often in the modification is the legs. By replacing the factory default rims with aftermarket rims indeed boost the display. One component is priced fairly high. For those who have more budget may not be wrong, but if the budget is low then the rim former is the solution. If you choose the former rim, needs to be careful in choosing. Because many former rim is polished so it appears seamless birthday, whereas the rim is already gempil even rupture. For that there are some things you should consider when choosing a used rim as follows.

rim

Still Original Paint Factory

After getting the rim with the model and size of the desired further observe the paint. Choose pristine rim factory default. Characteristics of thin paint layers and fine lines on the body rim is still visible. This is important because many former rim is repainted when the condition is bad.

Observe Lip Rear Rims

Notice the rear rim lip, if it still looks nice plate if it is repaired it will be visible.

Bolt holes

Observe also the bolt holes. If previously been modified bolt hole PCD will typically also changed. If not using a cast process is actually not really a problem. But if the process ubahanya using cast, the effect of the heat can cause crooked rim.

Size

Also note the size rim must not replace. If for daily, maximum size, Rev 2 inches. So for example the original size is 15 inches, then you can change the size of 17 inch rims

Clean the Radiator Yourself

Cleaning Radiator / radiator water change should be carried out regularly, to avoid the car to overheat, resulting in the performance of your car to be blocked.

Radiator

Radiator Cleaning should be done every 6 months, or in rare cars in use should be done once every 1 year.

Here are tips Cleaning the radiator if you want to do it yourself.

1. Make sure the car engine in a cold state.
2. Open the faucet to discharge water in the radiator that position in the bottom area. if there are no open bottom radiator hose.
3. Open the cover of the radiator so that the radiator water disposal well.
4. Clean the hose towards the engine, by opening the hose and spray water into the hose. do until the water comes out completely clean.
5. Close hose that passes through the machine earlier. with a cloth and then clean the radiator by entering the water into the radiator until the water coming out of the radiator completely clean.
6. Turn on the machine to discard any excess water when the temperature indicator on the dashboard shows normal temperature or half. turn off the car engine.
7. Close the back drain and replace the radiator hose leading to the engine.
8. Fill the radiator with water and coolant mixture until it is full. Turn on the machine to circulate the water and re-open the radiator cap and check the condition of the water radiator, if reduced. then add back the liquid coolant sufficiently. When finished radiator cap back properly.

Tips and Tricks Overcoming Injection Motor Strike

Have you experienced motorcycle broke down when traveling? Motorcycle strike suddenly did make dizzy. If your motorcycle is a motorcycle with carburetor technology, the technique is easy. Position the motorcycle gear as low as possible, for example, 2nd gear, then a motorcycle driven so that the wheels can rotate the engine.

Injection Molding Machine

This trick spelled out the most popular and often successful, but the new machine will live when the normal ignition conditions as well as the petrol in the tank and carburetor. The purpose of the move was in fact to facilitate the fuel sucked gas piston which moves faster. There is also a fairly old-fashioned way, by pushing the motorcycle. This is usually done when the battery capability is weak. Even when done disposable kick starter remains difficult, because there is a problem in the combustion chamber or there is a weak ignition components.

To start the engine indeed should be encouraged in order to fuel gas that rely on gravity and vacuum easily inhaled. Even with the higher rounds, stun from the spool to the battery can make normal. But, if you can not often done.

What if the strike was a motorcycle injection?

Motorcycles with injection technology is a type of motorcycles that are currently in vogue. Motorcycle technology mendgunakan injection precision components and electrical sensors are very sensitive. Motorcycle injection is not only easy to menghidupka, but also fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly.

Motorcycle injection is to be encouraged as much as possible to avoid, because electrical components as well as ECM (Elektronic Control Module) which supported the sensor does require battery. In order not to strike on the road make sure the motorcycle battery conditions remain good. So if the motorcycle injection problematic on the road, you do not need to push.

Turning on motorcycles with injection technology does not need a way to encourage such a motorcycle carburetor. Moreover, if the battery is completely broken or not functioning properly. Usually not only working gas station in charge of pressing and gas flow through the injector is not active, but often support ECM sensors are not functioning as they should be.

Heating the Car Engine

Heat up the car engine in the morning or when going traveling is a natural thing to do a motorist. But did you know that there are some things that are not widely known by the motorist in the way the engine warm up good. Here is a brief troubleshooting heats how car engines and benefits.

Heating the car engine

For long car under the age of late 1990s. Heating the car engine every day is a must do, because many car components that are no longer precision. Turn on the machine every day no more than 5-10 minutes.

For Cars over 2000 cars each day Heats 5-10 minutes is not something that must be done, to do less than 5 minutes.

If the routine checks carried out routinely area electrical heating of course the old car is not necessary. Because when you heat the car not only to dilute the oil that lubricates the sidelines rapid engine components. But you also save electricity in battery production, is mainly for cars under 2000.

But if you are in a hurry because of the time and did not get chased the car heats. These tips you can do. Turn on the machine, wait 15 seconds, run the car with a speed of 5-10 km / h constant. Once you've had enough, slowly stepped on the gas pedal deeper constant. Never play when the gas engine is heated, there is no point, even make wasteful of fuel, and can damage your car engine components.
