Check out these pre-ride prep tips from Liqui Moly distributor

For many Filipino motorcycle enthusiasts, their idea of having fun is swapping their daily-driven scooters for their long-parked big bikes to enjoy some much-needed “me-time” out on the open roads. 

Whether it’s leaning into mountain curves or exploring coastal highways, nothing beats the thrill of a summer ride. But before heading out, it’s important to make sure that one’s ride is just as ready as the rider. 

BSB Junrose, distributor of automotive aftermarket products in the Philippines, has cited some pre-ride preparation tips, using Liqui Moly lubricants, to help keep motorcycles in tip-top shape. 

“Motorcycle riders deserve the same high-performance protection trusted by world-class teams. Liqui Moly’s Motorbike line gives Filipino riders confidence and reliability for every twist and turn,” BSB Junrose Corporation President Ian Bangayan noted in a press release. 

Oil change 

While some big bikes are used by their owners for daily commutes, most prefer to sit atop small-displacement scooters due to their compact form factor (which makes them ideal for city landscapes) as well as their economical fuel consumption. 

That said, many heavy bikes — as we mentioned earlier — tend to sit in their owners’ garages until the time comes to embark on longer journeys where their heftier engines and more sophisticated technologies are needed. 

On that note, it is preferable for these big bikes to undergo an oil change before they are fielded. 

Per BSB Junrose, Liqui Moly Motorbike 4T Premium Oils (which are designed for both air- and liquid-cooled four-stroke engines) offer the following benefits: 

• Outstanding engine cleanliness
• Reduced friction and minimized wear
• Smooth gear shifts and cooling support

Here are the options owners of large motorbikes can explore: 

Natural oils	Synthetic formulas
Motorbike 4T 10W-40 Formula	10W-40 Street Race
10W-40 Street	10W-50 Street Race
20W-50 Street	10W-60 Street Race
	HD Synthetic 20W-50 Street

 

There is also a Liqui Moly product for small scooters, which comes in the form of the Liqui Moly Motorbike Molygen 4T 10W-40. 

Liqui Moly products are used in the MotoGP. The German marque is the exclusive lubricant partner of the Moto2 and Moto3 classes of the premier motorcycle racing series. 

Clean, lube

Once the engine oil is taken care of, it is now time to clean and lubricate its other components, such as the brakes and chain. 

Big bike owners can use chain and brake cleaners to remove dirt and grime. After which, they can apply chain lubricant (on the motorcycle chain only) for a lasting performance. 

Check lights, tires 

It’s also important to inspect one’s tires and check if they have the proper pressure.

Likewise, ensuring that all the lights are working properly can improve one’s visibility and safety while on the road. 

Suit up 

Since proper care has been given to the big bike, it’s also imperative not to skimp on proper riding gear, such as: 

• Helmet 
• Riding jacket 
• Gloves 
• Boots 

One can also take good care of the abovementioned items by using the following products: 

• Helmet interior cleaner 
• Visor cleaner 
• Leather suit care for jackets, gloves
