Pre-Monsoon Bike Care Tips: Ride Safe This Rainy Season with Bharat Biker 4T Plus+

Why Pre-Monsoon Bike Care Matters

Riding a bike in the monsoon is both thrilling and risky. Wet roads, low visibility, waterlogged streets, and corrosion can make riding unsafe if your bike isn't prepped properly. Pre-monsoon maintenance ensures your motorcycle or scooter stays reliable, safe, and efficient even in heavy rains.

One key step? Choosing the right engine oil that protects your bike during moisture-heavy weather. That’s where BHARAT BIKER 4T PLUS+ (SST) 20W/40 by Bharat Lubricants plays a game-changing role.

Top 10 Pre-Monsoon Bike Care Tips

1. Check and Replace Tyres

Ensure your tyres have a tread depth of at least 2 mm for proper grip on slippery roads. Look for cracks or uneven wear. Proper tyre pressure is critical—underinflated tyres can lose traction on wet surfaces.

2. Clean and Lubricate the Chain

Rainwater can wash away lubrication and lead to rust. Clean the chain thoroughly and apply a high-quality chain lube regularly to ensure smooth rides and prevent wear.

3. Brake Inspection is a Must

Your brakes are your life-savers. Check both front and rear brake pads for wear. Make sure the brake cables and levers are responsive. Wet conditions reduce braking effectiveness, so timely service is vital.

💡 Wet roads significantly reduce braking efficiency, so timely service is essential to avoid skidding or delayed stopping.

🔧 Pro Tip: Clean your brake components and top up your brake fluid if needed.

Water and humidity can short out electrical systems. Clean the battery terminals and ensure all wires are properly insulated. If your bike shows weak ignition or dim lights, have the battery tested.

6. Waterproof Your Electricals

Use dielectric grease on connectors and seal loose wires with insulation tape to prevent short circuits. Check your horn, headlights, and indicators—essential for visibility during heavy rain.

7. Check Suspension & Fork Seals

Monsoon rides mean more potholes. Inspect the front fork for oil leaks and ensure your suspension is responsive. It helps maintain control on wet, bumpy roads.

8. Apply Anti-Rust Spray

Spray an anti-rust coating on the exhaust, nuts, bolts, and underbody parts prone to corrosion. Also, keep your bike covered when parked to protect it from direct rain.

9. Test Lights and Indicators

Visibility is a major issue during monsoons. Ensure your headlights, brake lights, and turn signals are bright and functional. Replace any dim or flickering bulbs.

10. Keep a Monsoon Kit Handy

Carry essentials like a raincoat, waterproof gloves, a microfiber cloth, and a basic tool kit. A plastic sheet or extra cloth can also help cover the seat during sudden downpours.
