    ESSENTIAL COMPONENTS OF MOTORCYCLE

    SWITCHES AND CONTROLS – The driver must be able to locate the following:

    SLIDE 11-18
    PANEL INSTRUMENTS

    Speedometer - displays the current speed of the motorcycle

    Fuel gauge – an instrument that determines the amount of fuel, mostly in liters, on the fuel tank.
    Usually switch to ON even if the engine is OFF

    Battery or Ampere Gauge – battery voltage reading or state of charge

    Oil Pressure Gauge – instrument that determine the oil pressure level of a running engine. The
    higher the pressure, the better. Low pressure means that the oil is not properly circulating on the
    engine.

    Temperature Gauge – an instrument so display engine temperature. Normal engine operating


    temperature must be determined by the driver.

    Tachometer - an instrument to measure the revolution per minute (RPM) of engine. Most
    tachometer has red warning band. The needle will reach the red warning band whenever
    overrevving is made.

    Odometer – an instrument used to measure the accumulated distance traveled by the vehicle.
    Most vehicles are also equipped with trip odometer.

    WATCH OUT FOR THIS DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHTS.

    Temperature warning light – this red light means the engine is more than the normal heat
    temperature level.

    Oil pressure warning light – this means that our oil level is much lower than the limit.

    Battery warning light – if this appears, it means that the battery is not charging.

    TIPS ON OTHER ESSENTIAL PARTS

    • Fork – This part of motorcycle holds the front wheel and the steering bar. Observe for
    leaks. The front of motorcycle is bouncing too much if there is a shortage of oil.
    • Rear Suspension – Dual or mono shock absorbers holds the frame and the rear wheel.
    • Drive Chain – Check for tension and lubrication of chain. Lubricate the chain with proper
    oil. Avoid using grease. WD 40 is a suitable lubricating oil.
    • Drive Belt – Check for tension
    • Front and Rear Brakes – Front brake pads requires cleaning with soap and water while
    the rear brakes require proper greasing. Avoid too much grease. This may reach the
    brake lining.
    • Rubber Damper – Observe the rubber damper for its wear and tear. Symptom includes
    wobbling of wheels when travelling
    • Sprockets – Look closely at the sprocket teeth to see if they have become sharp at the
    tips and/or slightly curled. The teeth on a new sprocket are straight and have a flat or
    domed shape at the tip. If the teeth are sharp, the sprocket is worn. Look for indented
    wear around the circumference of the sprocket at and below the teeth that resembles the
    shape of the chain. This “shadow” wear indicates a well-worn sprocket that should be
    replaced. Other signs are worn spots on the insides of the plates which usually signal
    that the chain is out of alignment.
    • Clutch Lever - bad clutch may also include a stuck clutch lever, hard shifts accompanied
    by a clunking sound or jerk, and difficulty getting the motorcycle to shift gears. Check for
    signs of crack cable housing.
    • Accelerator cable - Improper cable adjustment and slow acceleration response. When
    there is excess slack or the cable is too tight, this can cause intermittent delays in
    throttle response relative to pressing down on the accelerator pedal. Dirty or frayed
    cable. Cruise control not working properly.
    • Brake Cable – Check for worn out cable housing. Use WD 40 to lubricate.

    TIPS ON STARTING THE MOTORCYCLE

    • Be sure to start the engine at a neutral gear.


    • If the motorcycle engine fires and then immediately stalls, just press the start button
    again until it fires a second (or third) time.
    • Avoid over starting the engine. This may damage the starter or drain the battery. Try
    using the choke when the engine is cold. Release the choke as soon as the engine
    starts.
