New Delhi. People often make many mistakes while riding a bike, due to which the clutch plate gets worn out quickly and you have to spend a little money for repairing it. If these mistakes are corrected in time, you can avoid huge expenses.
Today we are going to tell you about a mistake which you repeat again and again while riding a bike. Due to which the clutch plate of the new bike also wears out within 6-7 months.
Do you also ride the bike on wrong gear?
Bike drivers are often advised not to forget to change gears when reducing speed, but many people ignore this important rule. According to experts, not changing gear despite reducing the speed of the bike can cause serious damage to the engine and other important parts of the bike. Many people have a habit that even after reducing the speed, they try to run away from the bike by giving accelerator in higher gear. By doing this the bike starts running but there is huge damage to the engine, clutch and gearbox.
These are the damages caused to the bike
1. Engine pressure
When you ride a bike slowly in a higher gear, there is excessive pressure on the engine. This may affect the performance of the engine and may also reduce its lifespan. Moreover, doing so continuously increases the chances of engine repair or replacement.
2. Risk of engine stalling
If the gear is not changed according to the speed, the engine of the bike may stop suddenly, which is commonly called stalling. This situation usually occurs when you are riding the bike very slowly in high gear. This can not only spoil your balance but can also increase the risk of an accident on the road.
3. Bearing on clutch and gearbox
Not changing gear while reducing speed puts more pressure on the clutch and gearbox of the bike. Both these parts can wear or get damaged prematurely, which increases the maintenance cost of the bike.
4. Increase in fuel consumption
Experts say that if not run in the right gear, the engine requires more fuel, which reduces the mileage. This has a direct impact on your fuel expenses, which can also put an additional burden on your pocket.
5. Pressure on braking system
Due to not having the right gear, more force has to be applied on the brakes, due to which the brakes can get damaged quickly. This situation can also prove dangerous for your safety, especially if there is a need to apply brakes suddenly.
6. Lack of smooth ride
Riding a bike in the wrong gear can cause jerks and spoil the riding experience. This makes the bike difficult to control, making riding uncomfortable.
According to experts, it is very important to change gear while reducing the speed to ensure long life of the bike and safe riding. This not only makes the maintenance of the bike easier, but also saves fuel and makes the ride more comfortable.
