Winter Driving Tips |
|
Are you one of the die-hard, all-season scooter or motorcycle riders? Do you have customers who continue riding when winter sets in? Does your shop support them through the chilly season? Here are a few tips you can share with your loyal riders to see them through the cold.
For your scooter:
- Getting a windshield can make a huge difference when twenty degree or colder winds are blasting your face.
- Make sure your scooter battery can stand up to the strain of winter riding. Keeping it topped off with a full charge can be the difference between a good day or a bad one. We recommend using one of the Xtreme battery chargers and maintainers we offer from Pulse Tech.
- Using the proper oil for your scooter is also top priority. We recommend using PJ1 brand oils for all scooter and powersport vehicle applications. For 2-stroke applications (also designated as 2T) we suggest changing your oil as there is no 2-stroke oil specific to winter riding. For 4-stroke applications (also designated as 4T) we recommend using a 10-40 weight. Did you know that the small "w" after the # doesn't actually stand for "weight"? It stands for "winter" and the first number rates the viscosity of the oil at a temperature of 0 degrees F, mimicking cold winter weather, which is why the 'W' designation is added at the end of the first number. The second number repeats the test at 210 degrees F., or normal operating temperature for a fully-warmed engine.
- For liquid-cooled scooters, make sure that the reading on the anti-freeze is sufficient for the temperatures you�ll be expecting.
For the rider:
- Be choosy when buying protective gear. Avoid any clothing that is big & bulky or could restrict your overall movement while riding.
- Keep yourself posted on weather forecasts and road condition reports over the route you'll be taking. It's good practice, especially for those with a long commute.
- Cover up your body and eliminate all the places where the cold air can enter. You can use duct tape to seal up openings. Choose modern fabrics designed to seal out the cold and retain body heat. Covering your legs and knees is very important since those are the most exposed portion of the body when riding.
- Wear Gloves and if you don't have a face shield then wear Goggles.
Winter riding can be a great adventure, so please make sure you're having fun and staying safe. Happy Scooting! | |
