How to Prepare Your Bike for the Monsoon Season in India
The monsoon season in India brings with it a special kind of riding challenge: wet roads, poor visibility, and the risk of rust and corrosion. But with a little preparation, you can keep your bike safe and ready to ride. At Primo Customs, we've put together a guide to help you prepare your bike for the monsoon.
1. InspectYour Tires
Check the tread depth of your tires. Worn tires have less grip on wet roads, which can be dangerous. If your tires are worn, consider replacing them.
2. Protect Your Bike
Protect your bike from rust and corrosion. Use a waterproof wax or polish on all metal parts. We also highly recommend a tyre hugger to protect your bike's suspension from mud and water.
3. Check Your Brakes
Brakes are less effective in wet conditions. Check your brake pads for wear and your brake fluid level. If your brakes are old, consider upgrading them.
4. Upgrade Your Lighting
Poor visibility is a major issue in the monsoon. A good set of auxiliary lights, like our HJG lights, will make it easier to see and be seen.
5. Get the Right Gear
A waterproof riding gear set, including a jacket, pants, and gloves, is a must for monsoon riding. They will keep you dry and comfortable, so you can focus on the road.
Conclusion:
The monsoon season doesn't have to be a reason to stop riding. With a little preparation, you can enjoy the thrill of riding in the rain. Shop our full collection of waterproof riding gear.
